Okay, I've had problems with my computer for a long time, but I've been able to fix it all myself until now.

The newest error is

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

C:WINDOWS\System32\wuauclt.exe
C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXE.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the applictation.

Then it gives me the option to choose "close" or "ignore"


I've been having other problems also

Microsoft Word will not work even after re-installing Microsoft Office TWICE

It's weird because Excel and Power Point work just fine.


NEXT problem

I can't access hotmail anymore from home. When I try and log in it's saying:

.Net Passport unavailable at this site.

I've already ran ad-aware, spy boot, norton, and I get infected files everytime, I remove them, but nothing is fixed. By the time I run the scans again, there are more infected files.

Thanks for your help Stallion, but it didn't work. I did as you asked, restarted and got the same message.

Any other suggestions? I downloaded Firefox and I can access hotmail now in there.
