Re installation may be *correct*, but sometimes its impractical. I would 1. Pull the drive, and connect it to another fully patched, fully security updated windows box. 2. From that box run chkdsk -> full virus scan -> defrag 3. Reconnect the disk to the original box, and boot from the windows install disk and perform a repair. Use an installation disk that has been slipstreamed with the correct service pack. You should be able to find the media - just remember that OEM media is different to standard media. 4. Uninstall all the crap.... (check Run registry keys)
