unfortunately that's part of the problem, I can't open Spybot now either.
Same thing, I click on the Spybpt icon, and get the hourglass for a few
seconds, then nothing else happens. Something has gone haywire.
Can't open any programs.
But, oddly enough, my kid opened her folder full of digital photos (My
Photos in My Documents, I think) and was able to burn them to a CDR, so it
isn't as if the whole system is dead. But she didn't have to open a program
to burn the CDR.

At 03:25 PM 10/7/2005, Veech Poked the stick with:
Yeah, deja vu all over again. My kids loaded Limewire on their box and
now, of course, the thing is bogged down with garbage and needs to be
cleaned out thoroughly.
So I sat down to run the SpyBot and AdAware and come to find out they had
deleted the old SpyBot I had installed (v1.2 I think), so I went online
and d/l'ed the latest version Spybot v1.4 last night. When I ran SpyBot,
it id'ed a ton of problems and I told it to "fix all" without bothering to
read each one listed. I had always done this with v1.2 with no problem.
Well, now after doing that, I can't get any programs to start. I can't
access System Restore, or Add and Remove Programs, or even Internet
Explorer. I click (double-click) on the icon or link, get the hourglass
for 3 or 4 seconds then nothing happens. Hourglass disappears, and the
program never runs. Nothing works.. "Open", 'Explore", nothing. I even
have to hard shut-down the computer.
Any ideas how to fix this? I could at least get online before, that's how
I downloaded SpyBot v1.4. After installing it, I can't even access IE.
Last hope is a complete reinstall...
thanks,
Veech
