the second time that i formatted my pc, i mean when i installed norton utilities and that problem happened again winzip wasn't installed on my computer.. this shows that problem wasn't caused by winzip.. i think it is a virus or something like that and infected all of my programs in the same cd

today i formatted my pc again and everything was normal until i installed norton utilities 2002.. when i finished installing norton utilities that folder appeared again..winzip and norton utilities are in the same cd and this shows that this problem caused by a virus. i scanned my computer with norton antivirus and mcafee and both of them couldn't find anything..

i got the same problem just scans for updates but never downloads.. but you dont need to worry.. i think problems caused by microsoft update server and it ll be alright in a few days.. you can manually seach and pick updates one by one from download seach but i cant find all the updates that automatic update found.. best way is wait for a few days..

as i said when i am working with folders it appears on the whole desktop like a maximized folder but it is empty and no name or info on the taskbar. sometimes it dissapears when i close an open folder from the taskbar but it doesn't work all the time. i am always restarting the pc cause there is no way to reach the icons on desktop. i formatted my pc and installed some of the installed software before, tried some and the other day i installed winzip and getright with their registration codes than it happened again but i m not sure if they caused it or not.. at last it lools like a folder on the taskbar but it has no buttons or a border.. it just makes whole screen window colour which you have selected from the appearance expect taskbar and start menu. it doesnt seem to affect any working applications

when i am working with folders [close, minimize or maximize] a blank folder covers the whole desktop and i cant close it even from task manager .. any solution or someone knows somtehing about..
