my system shows a dialog box message just before the windows interface to my desktop loads,then i realise that in the start menu there are features that are missing eg ,my computer ,control panel ,search and the taskmanager.

can anyone help me out cause the only solution for this is to format and reinstall windows xp again .

Please read the first three posts in the virus forum, then post a HJT log in there. Then we can take a look at things.
