Just rescued an old PC from the attic. It had lots of spyware on at one time, then must have been infected with a virus, it can boot up and start then is frozen with an illegal operation or something mmtask or missing rundll I dunno. Tried to reinstall windows these missing files or corrupted files stopped me at the end of setup.
Just tried looking for a website to wipe everything and install fresh, cant seem to find one. I tried it before on another computer but I can't remember how to do it. Does anyone know or could direct me to the information I need. Thank you

I've sorted it now, thanks anyway.
hmm try using [URL]http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/[/URL] to check the health of your hard drive, if this passes check the ram.
I need help with this too!
I tried to reformat my hard drive but it wouldn't let me, it said something else was trying to access the drive.
So I decided to re-install windows 2000 Pro, it went ok and I fixed the problem of constant 100% cpu usage but now barely anything works.
The cd drives don't have the same names as before and one of them doesn't even work. I tried the driver disc (floppy) but it says an error occurs while running the program.
Then i looked at the installed hardware and it said both drives were installed.
How can I completely reformat and will I be able to install everything after?

ME could do it properly, although even it wasn't the first. Took 26 minutes to install it on my old PC.

As did SE (which I still use occasionally for the utilities...).

Nope, windows 98 had a vey basic startup ability on disk, and allowed you to use stuff like fdisk from the cd.
