I guess I got a virus and some one accessed my pc.. still think they can so im trying to be quick.
any way they were able to operate my system and they destroyed some thing in system32.

I can not run any thing now,not one .exe etc... only internet.. cant run regedit etc either.
I was a fool I know.. the person that got in my pc.. convinced me .. he would help... to rid me of the virus... to stop poeple gettting in.

now all i get is win' can not access the specified device etc .. and some thing about no permition... when i click on anything!!... plz plz help... plz

It sounds like you need to reinstall Windows to be honest. Did you get any restore CDs or Windows CDs with your computer?
