Posted September 4, 200717 yr I recently got a computer virus. Pretty sure the system is clean now, but I think the virus did some damage. When I go to run command prompt (go to start, run, type cmd), the window pops up for a split second and then closes again. No error message or anything, it just closes. I've tried using the XP discs repair function but it shows my windows as being on the E drive when it's really on the C drive so I'm a bit concerned that it might mess my whole system up if I use it. I'm also having problems with windows installer, I tried installing Norton AV 2007, and it says it can't validate the windows installer, tried dling the installer from MS, but it says it can't write the MSIEXEC.EXE file, and then when I exit it says windows may not work properly because the file was not installed. If you need me to post any registry info or anything, just say so. Thanks!
