I CANNOT DOWNLOAD PROGRAMS NOW AFTER I CLEANED OUT A VIRUS. I GET A DIFFERENT
FATEL ERROR MESSAGE WITH EACH NEW DOWNLOAD. ONE PROGRAM SAYS:...."Error
25002..Some driver has invalid name or conflicts with other file or service
in system. Please choose other driver names or make sure you have rebooted
after removal of software using same names." I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING BUT
REFORMAT THE HARD DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH FIVE DIFFERENT DOWNLOADS. I
GET A DIFFERENT MESSAGE WITH EACH ONE. THIS ABOVE MESSAGE IS THE ONLY ONE
WITH SOME INFORMATION. ANY IDEAS??? I HAVE ONE FILE IN %TEMP% THAT WILL NOT
DELETE BECAUSE IT SAYS IT IS RUNNING? WHAT IT IS I HAVE NO IDEA. REGARDS RICK

Even through you've "cleaned out the virus," run both items below just to
play safe.
First, be sure your antivirus software has the latest definitions and run a
virus scan.

Second, download, install and run Ad Aware:
www.lavasoftusa.com

Do Not Run System Restore as that may have been contaminated as well. Most
malware and antivirus cannot clear the System Restore file store, that must
be done by turning it off, rebooting and turning it back on which will
completely delete all current restore points. Open Control Panel, open
System, open System Restore, turn it off, reboot and turn it back on.

During the cleanup process necessary files may have been deleted which is
the usual cause of problems after a malware or virus removal.

The following assumes you have an actual XP CD as opposed to a restore CD or
restore partition supplied by your PC manufacturer.

Go to Start, type sfc /scannow in the run box and press enter. Note, there
is a space between sfc and the forward slash. You will be asked for your XP
CD. Be aware, upon inserting the CD the XP setup screen may appear, this is
not a part of sfc /scannow, rather it is being invoked by autorun. Simply
minimize the screen and allow sfc to continue.

If the above fails to resolve the issue, try a repair install as follows:

Be sure you are well backed up in case there is a problem from which you are
unable to recover. NOTE, while a repair install should leave your data
files intact, if something goes wrong during the repair install, you may be
forced to start over and do a clean install of XP. If you don't have your
data backed up, you would lose your data should that eventuality occur.

Assuming your system is set to boot from the CD-ROM drive, boot with the XP
CD in the drive. If it isn't or you are not sure, you need to enter the
system's BIOS. When you boot the system, the first screen usually has
instructions that if you wish to enter setup press a specific key, when you
see that, do so. Then you will have to navigate to the boot sequence, if
the CD-ROM drive is not first line, set it first in the boot sequence. Save
your settings and exit with the XP CD in the drive. The system will reboot.

Boot from the CD. If your system is set to be able to boot from the CD, it
should detect the disk and give a brief message, during the boot up, if you
wish to boot from the CD press any key.

Once you have pressed a key, setup should begin. You will see a reference
asking if you need to load special drivers and another notice that if you
wish to begin the ASR (Automatic Recovery Console) depress F2. Just let
setup run past all of that. It will continue to load files and drivers.

Then it will bring you to a screen. Eventually, you will come to a screen
with the option to (1) setup Windows or (2) Repair Windows Installation
using the Recovery console.

The first option, to setup Windows is the one you want and requires you to
press enter. When asked, press F8 to accept the end user agreement. Setup
will then search for previous versions of Windows. Upon finding your
version, it will ask if you wish to Repair your current installation or
install fresh. Press R, that will run a repair installation. From there
on, follow the screens.
