What happens when you start a new task, and run explorer.exe?
 
anyone? :confused: ive tried everything i can think of......nothing seems to work....

i can launch certin programs, outlook express wont launch someting to do with cache saying my hard drive is full and im out of memory, but i have 1 gig, and 80pct of my drive is empty
 
hmm, interesting, my uncle is having the same exact problem you are...

im going to check his system out asap, but hes quite far away :(

what has your surfing been like? my uncles son has been using the computer too, and i was wondering its possible you picked up something while surfing. Whats your motherboard make/model?
 
I was thinking you did this for some reason, but boot off your XP CD and run a repair install.
 
did boot repair, called up xp home tech's........basicly they gave me instructions to remake some DLL's that seemed to be missing, and i did a system restore, worked fine now.......

really dunno wtf is up with my copy of win xp home, eaither i have bad sectors or its a bad install each time........i wanna reformat but i have info i wanna keep and no access to external hard drive :( but oh well, thanks for all input/information

Do you have another computer you can put this drive into to backup data?
