Edith has concluded it's a virus! Smart, aren't I? 
Here's what's going on. My computer has been unused for about three weeks, excpt for one time last wk–it was glitching up then, so I ran disk defrag and scandisk and updated the NAV update thingy. Ran okay after that. But on startup a black screen had come up saying there was an error with something with the mouse– I didn't write that down.
Three weeks ago I had installed NAV2006, but my dinoputer would accpt '06, it installed '04 from that disk. I ran a full scan–everything was fine–no viruses. (I'd had NAV'02 before that and would buy the yearly update plan).
Today I started it up and first thing and alert comes up saying it can't find my NAV files. 
I click okay, and as the puter's warming up all these error boxes come up–don't know if you will need this, but this is what came up.
NAVOptrf.dll
DefAlert.dll
NAVAPW32.dll
ccIMscan.dll
statushp.dll
npfmntor.exe
SCRBlock.dll
Sgmain
ActiveX
I tried to unistall/reinstall NAV from the control apnel and nothing was in the add/remove programs window–a blank window. I tried to uninstall/install from the disk in safe mode and there is no "drive E" to click on to do so. I tried to open internet explorer (in safe mode) nd it came up as error–the page can't be displayed. I restarted one more time in regular mode–no IE, error popups in all the above, nothing in the add/remove programs window, and I forgot to check and see if the E drive is there.
I shut it down and unplugged the cmputer so that the virus doesn't have any power to work with, but I don't know if that is gonna do any good. I'm on my hubby's work computer right now. If I don't get back to a response right away, be patient– I'll get back (I want my puter back! LOL!) I've had an operation and it takes a lot to get to either 'puter in the basement of the house.
My computer's OS is windows ME, and I can't think of what else you might need to know. I do have Spybot and adaware abd Spyware Guard installed, but I didn't run any of those, nor a HiJackthis scan. I was kind of afraid to leave it on any longer.
I'm going to try to check back as much as I can this afternoon, since I am still downstairs and can get to the puter.
Thanks in advance!

I did figure out how to save my pictures–I uploaded them to my yahoo account. All my music is on Musicmatch Jukebox–any way I can send it somewhere before the system restore? I handwrote all the links to the downloads I had for HomeSchool materials, and will just have to let the other stuff go. (I actually have the system restore disks from way back when I bought the 'puter 6 yrs ago! That would give me the '98 back, would that be a good, or a bad idea?)
Another question–only partailly related to this (for future referrence after this mess is cleaned up)–Is there a tutorial on the back-up thing in my system tools? I had read a great tutorial on cleaning up the cache, running disk defrag and scandisk and run them and the spyware and antivirus scans regularly. I don't know how to use the backup thing, and don't know what it actually backs up–does it save things I have saved (like homeschool forms, music and pictures) right on my computer without my having to burn it on a cd? (I don't always have cds onhand and some things I wouldn't know how to get onto a cd, anyway–like my pictures) Or is my ignorance showing again? LOL! 
at the default settings it backs ups my documents, my pictures, your OE account etc
i'll ask for someone who knows ME more than i do to take a look at this
