If it is as bad as it sounds, your best suggestion is to just re-format your hdd. In my opinion it would take way to long and be not worth it to try getting all of the dll's off the internet.

If you need any help re-formating, just ask... But it sounds like you will just take it in and have someone do it. If you got another computer at your house, it would be easy to save your files to that computer so that you don't lose anything when you re-format your hdd. Another thing is if you do have another computer at your house and it is on a network, then you might want to check that computer for the same viruses to make sure that one didn't get affected by yours.

just a bit of info to help

It's extremely strange for a Super Member to be that unskilled at computers. If you'd like me to help, I might be able to assist. Just post or e-mail me (jag_washingtondc-temp1@yahoo.ca) these details:
-Operating System (e.g.: Windows XP, SUSE Linux) - be specific
-Computer Brand (if any, such as Dell, HP)
-Default Browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer 6 SP1, Firefox, Netscape 8) - be specific
-Recently Downloaded Programs (optional)

I also found these solutions on the Internet where a person could remotely assist another person on their desktop, and I'm not referring to the Windows XP built-in Remote Assistance. I'm talking about real life VNC solutions.

a) put hard drive in old system, save vital files
nuke the drve (wipe everything off)
c) re-install everything
transfer saved files

This is what i do everytime i have a problem like this, it always works for me, oh, plus i do regular backups of my vital files, vital meaning anything i use often including college work, and other things hat i cant talk about here.

It sounds like you have a big problem. You should try scanning it with Mcaffee virus protection, and if possible, try installing another hard drive in the meantime to see if that is the only problem you have with your computer.

As well, I suggest setting up your computer so that only the bare necessities are included, and troubleshoot your computer to see what else may be wrong with it. Eventually, everything brakes down as we all know, and your computer is only as good as your weakest component.

Good luck buddy, sorry I can't be of much help to you.

well if u cant reboot theres always the simple way lol...

pull the plug or push and hold the power button till it does...

but the funnything is if u know how to run your computer properly (eg. stop mem leaks and stuff) you should never have to reboot... i havnt rebooted or turned off this computer for 3 weeks now... running itunes 24/7 (turn off the speakers lol)... normaly running trillian and maybe a browser or 2 all depends... so yeah

normal when my computers ge that bad i reformat so up to you if u want to reformat or try and save it...

Im not talking about restarting the computer =\??? im talking about rebooting it when you press F11 when you start the computer. How do i sweep everthing away!?!?

I think your computer has been infected by viruses.So you should try to have full system scan.i hope it will work...
or have you deleted some windows file? Usually they warn before u delete..
Good luck anyway.

Lol you must me real blind then it comes out real fast. so when your starting the computer click F11 non-stop and see what happens, its the option to re-boot your system, and i am running on Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

I checked this one (F11 option) and this did not work on me I do have XP SP2, so I'm not sure on the exact problem you're having.

Just some questions, how long are you using this system? What did you do or install before the problem appeared? Does restarting the system normally (through Windows Turn Off option) give this same problem too?

I would recommend not re-formatting you system if you have no way to back up the data. If you can back-up, it is recommended that you reformat your system atleast twice a year to keep it running quick and smooth. If you can't backup i would just reinstall windows over the same partition and if possible create a new partition to store all the files that are important to you so if windows crashes you can reformat just the windows partition and not all the other ones. Also, the comment about not reformatting, windows is very unstable over long periods of time. After roughly a week memory will be leaked and eventually the blue screen of death will reappear. How hard is it to turn off your computer when you go to bed once a week? Plus keeping the computer on all the time isnt good for it cause it tends to eventually overheat and or damage parts of it since any computer card heats up quickly and no matter how well they are made will burn out if kept on for a long period of time.

i'am not sure the problems your computer encountered, however, it seem that may be virus infected and start running or may be the harddrive damage. coz you haven't provides information of your computer. which os and version having installed? windows xp home, pro, or windows media center. as fffanatics said, for beginn, i'am not format harddrive, instead use windows xp cd-rom to check if hdd damage or not. then, to repair boot environment by use recover console( use command fix boot). then have to re-installed the windows on the same partition. then, check if it still virus. if did, clean it, if did't, backup all the data of your computer. finally, re-format the harddrive or just delete the old windows.

a new windows should be installed if not more problems. now, go your dial-up connect and enable your internet conenction firewall. throught it's not the good one, but that will given your a base level protection.

- hope this help
