Please can someone advise me on how to fix my boyfriends computer that I inadvertently screwed over the weekend.....

He has XP Pro on it but on SP1 - Broadband so I installed Lavasoft Ad-aware to find it had over 200 objects and nasty data miners.... During the clean up I kicked off the Norton/symantec live updates which then froze the puter and I had to crash out of it. On rebooting the puter up again I found that none of the .exe files can be found and none of the programs will open......

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated......

Cheers

How about trying a system restore first? Reinstalling the OS is a bit drastic.

Nice help article... [URL]http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/getstarted/ballew_03may19.mspx[/URL]

Girls and technology, eh?

*tuts*

Unless you're a gay.

EDIT: Nope, sorry nothing useful or constructive to say. Might be a full re-install - better hope he's got the discs!
