HELP !!!

I cannot get this website to let me post a new thread, so I feel the same way about Windows XP.

My problem is this: I seem to have lost Windows Explorer. Whenever I try to open My Computer from the desktop, or open any of the drives from My Computer on the menu, all that happens is that the desktop resets itself. I cannot look at anything in My Computer. I have tried restoring XP to two weeks ago (when everything WAS working) to no avail. I have tried re-installing XP from the installation CD - no help.

Does anyone have any ideas ???

System Restore is not provided as a recovery tool. It is intended as an occasionally used tool to remove misbehaving drivers.

It seems most likely that you have been infected with a virus, or some sort of malware or adware.

Get a proper virus checker, and something like AdAware and SpyBot Search and Destroy. Make sure it is SpyBot *Search and Destroy* and not another product called SpyBot.

When you say that you tried reinstalling XP from the CD, what happened?

Cheers,

Cliff
