I have read the post "Read Me: Helping yourself: What to do before starting a new thread or posting a HiJackThis log" already and I'm new to the forums so I hope this is the right place.

Problem: My other pc thats currently running windows XP home edition is having a problem opening many files. When I try to open internet explorer it will open for a split second then close. I have the same problem with AIM, it will actually let me type my password but when it goes to sign online it closes immeadiately. I can get on Diablo 2 and play online. But I have no way of getting on the net. I found this site searching for a possible solution and was able to get adaware 6 through limewire which can still go online. I walked through a series of steps to do an advanced search and what not with no results =(.

I would appreciate any help,
Joseph VanDoren

Might be best now for you to post a hijackthis log file.
