Uh Oh! Looks like you deleted some Major, Major files. There is no other way to fix this problem other than re-installing Windows XP. It will delete ALL your files and programs, but it is the only option you have if you want to use your computer.

Hi frigginsweet...Welcome to G2G!

Did you simply delete these programs, or did you remove them through "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel?

If you deleted them, can you open the Recycle Bin? If you can, find the programs you deleted, select them, right click and choose "Restore". Reboot your computer and see if things are better. Please post back with your results.

Howdy and welcome to G2G:

Boy, you got bit BIG time.. Guess that's what happens when you pirate software with bearshare !!

Please go to the malware forum in my signature and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE .

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.

I had an old teacher who always said "99.9% of the problems isn't caused by the machine, but by the user."
