Hello famebyframe...Welcome to G2G1!
To use your phrase, first things first. What kind of machine do you have? Is it a branded machine such as HP or dell...or is it a "build"?
Do you know anyone you can borrow a retail version installation cd from? Most of the procedures you'll need to run will require, comparing, repairing, or replacing system files.

well as for the machine it is branded but by a company you probably havent heard of XP on my tower there is the logo reading ACER and above that it says ASPIRE if thats any help and i am positive that it isnt a build.

Please download Everest Home Edition, install it, run it using the "Report" icon, choose "All Pages" and then "HTML". Attach a log to this thread using the "Browse" and "Add This Attachment" buttons below the reply box.
That will give me the information I need to get started.

Ok...it's an Acer...no problem. What model, do you know? It should be a number like 1300XC or 1601LC, or something similar.

Do you have any important data on your machine that you want to save?

Ok...
I asked that because I think I found a recovery option for your machine, but it will not preserve your data.
Let's try a few things first...
What version of Norton do you have on the machine? We'll need to know that to remove it.
Also, please download HiJackThis from the link in my signature, but don't install it yet. Do the same with the Avast and Sygate Firewall (links for these are also in my sig)...if we're going to strip away your protection, we'll need to get something back on there pronto.

None of them are overly large so they won't take too awfully long...that's why I like them.
I'll be around here somewhere....
