Wow, you are faster than I ever imagined
Thanks for the tip, but I've just checked my "Add/Remove Programs" and I have neither of the programs the author has mentioned... Some symptoms are quite similar, though: codes instead of colours, scripts and skins not working, etc.
What has gotten my attention was a particular message which is displayed when I click on "Plus!". It says the application is inactive and asks me to uninstall it and try again later. The only program that might have caused the problem - once it was the only one I had installed - was BabylonIM, but I've already unistalled it, even tried the system restoration, which did not lead me to any productive result. I don't know, guys, what might have happened. Perhaps in the middle of the path there was a stone. Still hope we are able to find a solution for that. Only for you to know, I use McAffee as anti-virus and I keep it up-to-date.
Following a friend's advice, here go some screenshots of my "Add/Remove Programs." Hopefully you manage to recognize the trouble maker.
