Nope...Even when you use it on startup as a boot disk?
pressed f12, booted by disk and just opens my desktop as normal but will not run by autorun or by the xp menu. If I can't reinstall/repair I am not sure what to do next.
I do find it odd that I can still post here and stuff. perhaps a registry repair prog? Of course, it will need to be one that runs from the location as winrar wont open.
edit....This is really starting to piss me off, I am at a complete loss what to do if I can't even reinstall windows. It has to be something to do with .exe files but I am not techie enough (damn my non tech brain)

Oh...I just noticed in explorer that if I go to tools/Folder options/filetypes
When I look at the first 20 or so they have [NONE] next to them as if they are not associated with anything. Is this significant?

We are really snookered unless we can find out either:
1. The name of the virus/trojan
or
2. The name of the file that was deleted by AVG.
mostly harmless
No, I have that too
that's normal

ok...well that's something I guess.
I have also tried to open office progs like word, excel etc and it comes up with error message application not found.
But.....if I go to an actual file that has been saved in say excel....then it opens
edit....this makes me wonder if its something to do with all my shortcuts on the desktop and in my start menu programs.....
edit 2... When I go to the control panel, I can't open anything that is windows based and it comes up with C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

do a search in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\
1.see if you can find rundll32.exe
is this it? oooh... maybe getting hotter
2. what are you using xp pro or home?
could someone be prepared to donate an original rundll32.exe to sara (as i have tweaked mine mac style + more) if she seems to be missing it.
it is only 31kb
hope this is the missing link
