Hi All,
Hope this is in the right newsgroup.
Sorry this is a bit wordy.
I had a power outage recently whilst in the middle of defragging. Only one problem last from that episode, which meant that I neede to rename a corrupted .ini file that was causing my system to hang when the program using that file was trying to access it. Well that sorted, all programs now running fine, however the corrupted file the renamed corrupted file is still causing me problems, in that when I attempted to delete the renamed corrupted file via explorer, the PC would hang. OK I thought until I attempt to run anti spyware software.....my PC would hang, obviously when trying to check the corrupted 'file'. Therefore, as I couldn't delete the file via Explorer, i deleted via the command line. However, I am still having the same problems, any attempt at running anti spyware software, eventually causes the PC to hang.
How can I rid my PC of the corrupted file, so as to allow me to run anti spyware software.
I am running WindowsXP SP2 Home.
regards
TrevP
