Hi,
Chris again re my help above.
A quick run down on this PC
On the 31st March the machine crashed while on the net
since then I have been unable to access the PC to use.
Here are some of the things that happen.
1. None of the desktop icons work, when you click on any
icon the screen flashes and returns to the desktop in
fact it looks like the desktop resarts (or a lest
explorer), none of the folders on the desktop open to
explore. all except one Excel file that will open excel,
from here I can access all my other files in My docs, but
only via excel.
2. You cannot run any program from the start menu. or
access Control Panel.
3. No keyboard short cuts work ie to open explorer.
I thought all the problems were to do with the security
settings, so created an other user account with full
permissions, this will allow me to logon but not run any
programs.
I haved even tried to change ownership of files and
folders (whilst in Safe mode as this allows me to access
explorer ect.
In answer to your other question I have update norton
anti-virus and it reports back a clean system.
My next atempt is to download AVG anti-virus checker and
CWShredder to see what they report.
Sorry if all the above is a little long winded, I have
tried to give as much detail as possibe
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE
Chris
