Hi Everybody!
I have Windows XP Pro-SP2 with all of the current upgrades installed. I
installed Spybot and it repeatedly displayed this obscure dialog box asking
if I wanted to change a file, but the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons were covered
so that you could not tell which button was the correct choice. "X"ing to
close the dialog box only re-opened another. The result is that
C:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll, user32.dll and ntoskrnl.exe have been
changed and I cannot use Windows Explorer. When I attempt to re-install from
my Windows XP Pro CD (...yes I have a legal Key), it displays a message that
my CD is an older version than what is currently installed on my computer, I
assume because of all the updates and SP-2 I have installed since I
originally set up XP Pro from my CD. I have tried to overwrite the files in
question, from SAFE mode, as well as command line with no joy! I am really
up a river with this one friends, how do I replace these important files
without having to back up all of my crap, or worse, reformatting the HD???
Yes I uninstalled %$@ Spybot! Please tell me there is a simple fix out there
somewhere. Thanks in advance, I am tired of Firefox and want my Windows back.
Respectfully;
