Did as you requested, but in a slightly different way. I cannot get to My Computer from Start, but I can double click on the My Computer on the desktop and get into C drive. There is no folder named Windows, but there is a folder Winnet and there are alphabeticall listings of a whole whack of things....but no prefetch. I also looked in Program files and the folders Install Scheild/Uninstall Information and Windows Update are all faintly coloured-not the typical yellow.

Have several problems, including Malware, lost heading in my "Add/Remove Programs" for IE 6, and am unable to install Java. I need Java for work and use Firefox, so this is the problem I would like to address first. It was difficult to get the program on my desktop using 'manual download' from Sun Micro site, but have it now. I have tried to follow their instructions for a fix...by using "Custom Install" and changing the directory, but that didn't work. I get the Message Error 1722 which states...there is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

That seems like a good find. I'll try it tomorrow. Funny, but now the reply buttons on my forum screen has moved! Thanx 1nd and Keith. Will get to Malware forum tomorrow for more fun and games.
