We have WindowsXP,sp2. Last Sunday I ran SpySweeper 3.5. When it was done it said some items would be removed at restart. I restarted, came back later, clicked turn off and went to bed. My wife turned it on Monday and most everything she tried to open gave "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in Folder Options control panel".
You can open SystemSuite 5.0 from the taskbar, SBCYahoo DSL from the start menu and task manager with Ctrl+Alt+Del. You can open control panel and Folder Options is the only item which will open. You can open Programs and Adminisrative tools from Start Menu, but nothing inside them will open/run.
I went on net and found some freeware that said it could repair .exe problems but, when I tried to run any of them I got the same Error message.
Tried to repair from Windows cd. Didn't know what I was doing and what my books said to do didn't work. Booted with start-up floppy but when it got to disk#2, I got "file \ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded" & process terminated.
I'm just a 50 yr.old guy trying to keep his teen's machine
working. My books, Mircosoft & the Web haven't helped so far. If I don't fix this soon, my kids may burn me at the stake. Any pointers or suggestions might well save a life.
That you for your time, MikeAD.
