Can someone please help me I believe I have a virus my computer
started becomming unuseable yesterday it keeps the processor at 100
percent. so I reformated the computer to reinstall windows xp and the
fromat went find. however when the copy process started it would not
copy certin files it said it could not copy the files like wmploc.dll
and other important files. all other files copied fine. once the
install tried to continue it needed the files to continue, so the
installed failed. I thought it was the hard drive replaced that and
same thing happen. same files, tried to install win 2k it would not
copy certin files from that install eather. every os i try to install
it stops on certin files there is a virus somewhere on the computer
but I do not know where I even tried re doing the fixmbr and fixboot
that did not work. does anyone know of this virus??? please help...

Greetings,

This problem might be in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM you have. About two months
ago I was installing another operating system and when I put the CD in the
CD-WRITER drive it couldn't install said it was missing some files. I then
put it into my CD-ROM drive and bam it was installing.

Try putting it into a different CD-ROM or DVD-ROM and see if it works ;)

Thanks and best of luck!

in my message I wrote it copy's all but certin files so the CD ROM is
working something is stoping certin files ones that will keep xp from
completeing its installation.
