You can use windows sfc (system file checker) You'd need your XP CD to make this work.
Click Start> Run> type sfc /scannow Note the space.
(Note that there is a space between sfc and /scannow)
That scan just popped up and disappeared.
I even have the windows c.d. in.
Please just tell me how to undo what you told me to do on

that was what made explorer start failing.
Copy/paste the text in the Codebox below into notepad:
Here's how to do that:
Click Start > Run type Notepad click OK.
This will open an empty notepad file:
Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text in the box below, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select 'copy'. Now over the empty Notepad box, right click your mouse again, and select 'paste' and you will have copied and pasted the text.
Save this file to your desktop, Save this as "CFScript"
Here's how to do that:
1.Click File;
2.Click Save As… Change the directory to your desktop;

I guess you won't ask me for a refund then.
I'm sorry you got yourself infected again and asked for more help.
Some infections can cause issues that can't be fixed and requires a repair OS install or a format / re-install.
Peace be with you
