finished installing service pack 2. Nothing special happened. Computer just a tad bit faster.

**EDIT**

By the way, My clipboard doesn't work anymore ("Ctrl+C, Ctrl+P", "right click, copy, paste") both wont work.

Is the folder still missing?

[Fenor]

Just curious, but I'm betting the system32 folder is just hidden. Go HERE if you don't know how to view hidden files/folders. Then go back to the Windows directory and you should see the System32 folder.

lol fenor thanks. i feel stupid for doing all that now :/ system 32 folder showed up after i unhid everything.......

[Fenor]

I would right click on the system32 folder and choose PROPERTIES and uncheck the box for HIDDEN. Then click APPLY and OK. The system32 folder isn't a hidden folder by default and could cause problems if it is hidden.

i clicked "system32, properties" but the "hidden" check box is light and unclickable

do start > run > cmd > the type
attrib -h c:\windows\system32

does that give you an error?

[MISTERSTALKER]

"Not resetting system file - C:\windows\system32"

Error I got when i typed that in cmd

[dsenette]

restart your computer and press f8 during boot (you'll get a list of options to start up) choose safemode once in safe mode try to use the two methods above to mark system32 as not hidden....

if you have not resolved this yet - here is a fix that worked for me

open the command window "START-RUN-cmd" then type "attrib -a -h -r -s c:\windows\system32"

you were probably hit with W32.alcra.f virus when using a p2p application.

[MISTERSTALKER]

it worked!

but i see another problem that came up after
when i go to start ---> run ----> cmd the command prompt comes up, but disappears again by itself. i had to go to my computers --> windows --> folder options --> unhide everything --> system32 --> cmd to get to command prompt

[Retired Tech]

You should be able to get them from start, all programmes, accessories, command prompt
