Thank you so much red house. Now I got everything working and now have to figure out how to get the icons runnin. We're almost there guys.

Yea, notin. I have scanned in and out. Online scans too. I ried to repair the win. installation cause the following files in my system are missing: control.exe and rundll32.exe. I tried numerous times to replace rundll32.exe and I keep checking the dir and it is always there. Yet when I open items such as add/remove, system, etc. it says rundll32.exe is missing or control.exe is missing. When in the winxp recovery consol, it asks yuo to pick the os/volume to recover and I press 1 cause there is only one volume and it is labeled as "1". Now, it says that pressing enter will cancel the operation "Choose your volume lable from above to continue (pressing enter will cancel the current operation)" So what am I to do? should I save myself the trouble and backup and reformat? or is there a person out there who has been through this hell hole that I am currently stuck in??

Thanks alot guys. Here is another problem that has happened. All of the "open with" icons have been associated with another program and that really blows. Cause all the patches and fixes you guys are sending me I cannot launch by simply double clicking. Either it asks me to open with or opens it using the associated fie (99.9% of the time it opens with the associated file type.!) SO either you guys can give me a diff. solution (by the way I tried the links u guys offered with a regedit and stuff and still nothing) or I clean install.

i got the rar file thnx and I placed it in my C:\windows\system32 directory but still nothing. N E thing else?

I cannot open any .exe files cause my rundll32.exe is missing. n e one hae a copy? I need this real fast. Also, I don't quite know how 2 use this zip file. How am i going to use this .reg file if i can't use any program to actually VIEW my registry?? can someone step-by-step me through this? (ASAP)

Ok, my comp was fine and everything was normal!!! No viruses, no spyware, no nothing! Then, after a normal restart, ALL GONE! All of my icons are not gone but have been replaced with an "open with" icon. I hope u all know what it looks like. THe error message I get is a "windows cannot open this file: e.g. windows media player.ink" THis is the message i get for every file. EIther open with or let the net find a suitable file. Now i can load the program by choosing open with a program and choose the original program from the list given but that is quite a pain. Is this a trojan I got or what??? Help cause I was having a bad day when this crap happened!! (Don't ask me for no hijackthis or that cause first I donno how to use that program and second, it will not work because the installer is an .exe file whitch is not working like my icons!) Sys.

That sums it all up I guess Some one help me ASAP Please!
