winlogon.exe and regedit.exe I now can’t open regedit.exe.
When I quit the antivirus it comes up with a message saying that I need to insert the Windows XP SP2 CD in the CD Drive to repair the infected files – Although I don’t have the CD.
I have done a Virus Scan and they have not shown up. Is there anything to worry about?
It says I have the Trojan called: ‘Trojan.Win32.Pakes.x3’

I am in the process of doing a clean install on our home desktop. I booted up the cpu, and I chose start from disk. It took me to Windows XP Home Edition Setup screen. It gives me three options, the first is to set up Windows XP now, and Press Enter. The second is to repair an installation, press R. The third is to quit. I obviously want the first one, and i so I press enter….but nothing happens. I checked the keyboard, and its plugged in and working. But it doesnt take me to the next screen. What can I do? Please help

i don’t have my winodows xp cd anymore to download it on my computer but i have my sisters windows xp cd that she got with her computer. are you allowed somehow to use someone else’s windows xp cd?

My Windows XP Computer has been running very slow lately. I have run virus and spyware scans and removed all that I can. I was wondering about recovering my computer. Could I recover it using the Windows XP Home Edition disk and do a clean install or would that be a pain?? My computer didn’t come with actual recovery disks. If any drivers weren’t installed, would I still be able to start the computer up after I do the install? What drivers will I need?? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Also, could I just download all the necessary drivers from Microsoft without any disks or anything??? Thanks again.

Windows (XP) Registry

I receive the following notice every time windows loads after
turning my pc on daily (for the past week or more).

"One of the files containing the system’s Registry data
had to be recovered by use of a log or alternative copy.
The recovery was successful."

I’ve read others who’ve had this issue before, but I’ve
never read where someone actually gave advice for how
to resolve this issue.

Does anyone have any idea how I may begin to track
down what file(s) may be causing this, perhaps a way
to review the log itself and determine what’s creating
this issue?

One side-note. I believe the problem began a few days
(therefore a few startups) after I used a program called
"Eusing Free Registry Cleaner". It’s a free version,
which finds problems in a registry and cleans it up.
I thought about using the old registry I
backed-up, but I’m afraid I may create
more problems since I’m pretty active
on my pc, and have created text files
and downloaded photos and other things
since that time. I wouldn’t want to lose any
data. I have downloaded "Registry
mechanic" also, used it once, that didn’t
clear the problem, although I didn’t really
think it would. So my question is, how to
trace the cause of the file or files
creating this issue?
