ok, I fixed photoshop, I reinstalled it and it worked. the other time I reinstalled it I didn't completly uninstall, so what ever was causing the problem was always there. soooooo now I feel like a complete idiot for wasting the time of the good people here. Thanks heaps for your attempted solutions, in future i'll think a little before I come running for help.
anyway, thanks for your help & I did manage to get rid of the pop-ups I was having trouble with, so the guy who helped with that,

cheers.
see ya'll around the next time my computer decides to act like a spaz.......this can be closed now goodnight
