Found a XP home edition cd and done the repair with it. I had a couple errors come up

One was:

Com+ Setup Error

Sub-componet com+ raised an exception while processing the OC_COMPLETE_ISTALLATION setup message.

d:\nt\com\com1x\src\complusssetup\comsetup\csetuputil.cpp (line 3406)

error code = 0x8007007f

The specified procedure could not be found.
Failed to load the library 'C:\windows\system32\catsrv.dll'.

Then I had a few files that could not b e copied like bluehill.jp_ but since it was all jpgs I did not worry about it much.

Now this is where I am at:

Update: Due to the proliferation of the Blaster and Welchia Worm/Virus be aware that a Repair Install will leave your system vulnerable. You can get infected within seconds. Do not go on line until you have enabled XP's firewall first.

After reading that I decide to start the firewall. off to control panel I go and double click windows firewall and a box pops up :

Windows Firewall

Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated services is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service?

I click yes and :

Windows Firewall

Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service.

I click ok.

I go to control panel and administrative tools and click services

I scroll down to Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS) and right click and attempt to dtart the service. Then a nother box pops up and as so:

SERVICES
Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection SHaring (ICS) service on Local Computer.
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

I click ok.

Right click again on it open the properties and then Dependencies tab and an error:

Service Dependancies
Win32: The depedancy service or group failed to start.

I click ok.

Hoping to determine what the dependant services are but it only shows a blank under the componets that this is dependant on.

Path to executable on this is C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

I open explorer.exe and I still do not have a C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder

I seem to have trouble with Norton Internet Security loading and probably some other things that I have not checked as of yet.

I will be back on here shortly I am going to try to get some tools to run on this thing to check for malware, I am sure I will need their help too

I guess this topic can be closed, I can get XP started all the way now. I have a few problems with windows still that needs to be worked out, but I think I will start in malware area and try to get it cleaned up.

Thanks for the help
