Crow23 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Problem: I can no longer drag icons on the desktop, can no longer copy/cut/paste anything at all, and when i minimize windows they disappear completely and I am left alt+ctrl+tabbing and double clicking to bring them back up. It seems as though certain processes are just not recognized. I have no clue as to what is needed to remedy this situation and it is extremely annoying so I decided to just start over. I popped in the OS cd and it says it cannot install because "atwlwrf0.sys" is missing.Anyone have any thoughts on what needs to be done if anything can be done at all? Do I need to buy a new hard drive? Like I said I have no clue. Thank you all in advance for any input that you might haveCrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroshift Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hello Crow23, welcome to msfn The issue you are having is due to malware infiltration in your system. Run a full antimalware scan on your pc as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow23 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thank you for such quick responses. I forgot to mention that I tried to System Restore and brings up a message saying "System Restore is Unable to protect your computer". Nitro, as far as antimalware is concerned there are many different apps that could be used - is there one in particular that is THE best or are they all more or less the same? Aviv, I am about to add a new user....will let you know what happens. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
