Hi I can't use "system restore" on my computer,it has been disabled by a program that attacked my computer, can you help? Thanks Gazza333 [gazza333]
I would say use your disc and re install. You should be able to keep your files. Hope this helps... [MUSTANGRYDER64]
I have a problem with Windows 2000 Pro. I saw your topic and thought maybe you'd have an idea. I have no icons showing on the desktop, but I do have the taskbar (also no menu when I right click the desktop). I can access programs from the start menu, but I can't access the control panel. It gives me the message; "cannot find the file '(null)' (or one of it's components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." The computer will hang for a few seconds then give this message; "Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied". I use Firefox, so I can still access the internet. I tried to use IE6 to do an online spyware scan with X-Cleaner. IE hangs and never fully loads, I have to go through task manager to shut it down. I do have Windows Defender and AVG Antivirus and I've never had problems with spyware or viruses. I can see my desktop icons and access the control panel when I start in safe mode. I've also tried running my 2000 cd and going through the repair option. It didn't help. Looks to me like it's a problem with explorer, but I don't know. If you have any thoughts I would greatly appreciate it. If all else fails, I'm going to have to wipe the thing and start over. That's my last resort. :P [anj571]
Thank you both:) I really don't think the problem is from a virus or spyware. I do have software installed to protect from those, I scan everything I download and I also run online scans once a week as an extra precaution. The trouble began after a power outage. I have 2 profiles on the computer, the main 'Administrator' profile and the profile I use with administrator rights. I always try to tell people to not use the Admin profile incase something like this happens, but it's the first time I've had to take my own advice. I think I have the problem, for the most part, solved. I went through the 'Admin' profile, created a new profile with administrator rights and transferred my important folders (documents, programs etc.) to the new profile. Rebooted the computer into the new profile to make sure I didn't bring the problem with me. All of my important things are there; files, bookmarks and even my icons are back on the new desktop. Now I'm scanning everything I transferred just to be safe. Once I know I have everything I need from the old profile, I'll just delete it and use the new one I created. I know I could've saved alot of time by reinstalling or even creating a new profile to begin with, but I wanted to know what caused the original problem....and see if there was a way to fix it. My natural curiosity I guess:) I do appreciate your help, sometimes it nice to have objective opinions and maybe find something I'm missing. I don't know if my solution would work the same with corrupt profiles on other Windows OS's, but I tried to be detailed incase someone else runs into the same problem. Thank you again..both of you.:) [anj571]
