It all started when AT&T sent me a bad security update......

cmd still won't stay open.

Do you have Windows XP CD?

[tina1rules]

I am sure I do somewhere. So I need to re-install windows? If so How can save my music files I have tons and if I lose those people in my house will go nuts. I have done a sytem restore a long time ago,so it seems like everything is on here twice my regular files and c:mybackup files. I don't know how all that works but I don't wanna end up with 3 sets of files it already takes 3 hours for a virus scan due to the fact it runs through the back ups,the regular and the music (there is a lot of music on media player!)

When you insert Windows CD, it'll give you "Repair" option. That will keep your data in tact.

[tina1rules]

Okay Broni so you want me to put in the windows cd to fix not reinstall?  (and I thank you again for taking time to help)

[Broni]

Yes. Reinstall over the top would be the next step.

I got that cmd window to stay open long enough to see it said   successful  I can't remember what else it said but it said successful. And I can't find my windows disk right now because I hide stuff an don't remember where I put it.

[Broni]

It said successful after you executed some command?

[tina1rules]

it never let me give a cmd it just came on for a second and the message said successful ? weird i guess

[Broni]

I guess, you'll have to find that Windows CD

[tina1rules]

[Broni]
