Solve : files disappeared, no javascript?

Answer»

I cannot see my windows files and directories - when i open my harddisk(C:\), on status bar, it tells the number of files, etc but i cant see them ... same is with the control panel - i cant see anything .. it just comes up as as empty window.  Also I cant click on anything i.e. developed in javascript - i.e. javascripting in my IE is enabled, but still i dont see/cant use javascript when i visit the sites.
Background:-
I started my PC today and started Kazaa ... an error came up telling me that there r some files missing related to kazaa and so i will have to reinstall it.  After about 2 mins, i recieved the same type of error for Noron Internet security.  I uninstalled all of them and when i tried re-installing NAV, i couldnt ... the installation stops in middle and exits with an error message.
Thanx in Advance
SajidDid you do a full system scan for virus infection?:
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.aspThanku for the url ... i ran it and there were a lot of viruses present on my pc ... it couldnt delete/clean a lot of them ... now i m looking to uninstall my OS (WIN ME) but i cant find add/remove programs icon and others in Control Panel ... any ideas wat can i do or how can i install new WIN ME?

ThanxWell of what I remember, you can just insert the WinME installation CD and reinstall or uninstall from there.

Otherwise, why dont you first install this freeware?:

Did you try this?ch sajid.......Please tell me that you wiped your hard drive and didn't just install Win XP over ME ...........

Sounds like you didnt ........When will you people learn......oh well.......Here's what to do ........go to another pc ( one that isnt infected ) and D/l stinger and save it to a floppy disk...... http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
Now run this on the infected pc......Warning ......DO NOT CONNECT to the Internet until you have removed the viruses with stinger and then installed your Norton .....
now go on-line and open Norton and get the latest updates .
FYI....the reason you cant install Norton is that the virus is probably preventing you from doing the install.
let us know how you make out .

www.grisoft.com - free virus scanner.
www.zonelabs.com - free firewall.

Use Stinger first, which is as far as I can tell designed as a last resort for virus-ridden viruses. The AVG scanner (above) is a free full scanner which you can then use as your main one.

Don't ever use Kazaa again. Try Ares http://www.aresgalaxy.org/

Use Firefox as your browser as it is more secure. http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

dl65, why is it not a good idea to install XP over ME? I thought you could get special upgrade editions?hi all many thx for replying ... i have solved the problem and all is working alright now.  yes i upgraded win me to win xp .... dint wiped the hard drive coz i m not much expert in it and also i wanted to try upgrading first to win xp and then see wat happens .... which worked quite good.
NAV was giving error - the page below helped me and i installed NAV after removing it as instructed by

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2004020909040706?Open&src=&docid=2001092114452606&nsf=nav.nsf&view=docid&dtype=∏=&ver=&osv=&osv_lvl

now only thing that i m looking for is a good music download manager.  kazaa is good but too many threats come with it.  Has Ares got indian music as well Neil? or any other by which indian music can be downloaded

Thanx, SajNeil
"dl65, why is it not a good idea to install XP over ME? I thought you could get special upgrade editions? "

READING .....the problem from .....ch sajid......it sounded like he had ME installed ....was infected by a virus ....couldn't clean it up so installed XP over top ......I didnt see any referance to upgrading from ME to XP ......
My point was and is ....that the best way is to wipe the drive clean and start fresh........upgrades excluded......and even then ...its a good idea to format , then install the previous O/S and then upgrade to the new one ......( all the crap is cleaned out )

cheers

dl65  How is Aresgalaxy watched by government or police? What are the pros and cons for this SOFTWARE? I never heard of it, so precaution is always called.

If some people could give a feedback on this re: experience on this I would be pleased, cause it's been a year now I havent TOUCHED my p2p kazaa even though its working fine, just because of all these stories one gets to hear about the cops catching people for the illegal download of films and mp3.Yes, I did.  Told me to install under Win32 whatever that means!     Going to Computer Commando's suggestion.  Thanks!Ares is basically flying under the radar right now- it works well, though. No spyware, good d/l speeds. It's what I use, that & I2Hub, which is also good.
