Cant run SYSTEM RESTORE, NO SOUND, no ADMIN PRIVILEGES

Okay first off we noticed there was no sound, we went to check on our soundcard and it acted like it didnt exist
I went to device manager to see if there was a conflict and it says MMC.EXE is not a valid win32 application

I went to download the malicious software removal tool, and it didnt allow it, and closed it, I tried to download the host expert restore program, I ran it, and when it went to restore the host file, it was denied.. said system 32 something

I searched on google and found alot of people with these problems but no solutions

in the search I found out other things that are also happening

I cant go to USERS under control panel to see if the account has ADMIN PERMISSION when this is the ONLY user account

We went to run a system restore to a week ago, sit here for 2 hours only to find out when it was done it said we didnt have sufficient privileges to change system or something like that.. basically its saying were not admin

I cant get into user to change it.. Im thinking there is a virus, but the thing is.. we had COMODO Firewall RUNNING, and NOD32 UP TO DATE, in which we just scanned and it found nothing..

here is the hijackthis log if u can find anything, and if u have any suggestions

Fully agree with my friend ITs a Secret........I was just curious when I noticed in the hijack log that the OP was using "anti-crash"...which is a very old program made for win98.....and dis-continued years ago....it installs a java applet that no one quiet understands what the applet does...(that was years ago, of course) also:
______________________
What is mmc.exe?
mmc.exe is the Microsoft Management Console application and is used to display various management plug-ins accessed from the Control Panel, such as the Device Manager. This program is a non-essential system process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems

perhaps the folks in Clean-up will find use for this info.

You can boot into 'safe mode' (keep hitting F8 at startup).
When you get the menu, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to highlight 'safe mode', then log-in under the default 'Administrator' account (by typing in the word Administrator).

That will allow you to search around and do things, like see what's up with your user accounts.

sorry for posting in the wrong spot...i'll post again in security clean up...the anti crash was sent to me from a friend of mine. He said it would keep my programs from crashing....i wasn't aware that the program was so out of date. I am running Windows XP
