hi, yesterday my windows xp started , but won't let me into any folders, programs, control panel or even help and support.
on the folders it says something like n"not a valid system32 file. on the others it says they don't have the right file extensions. everything was fine the night before. i am new at this and am totally stumped as to what to do. help.
                                                                                                   thanks, JOY
