2000 Pro. When starting an old 'voice-mail' program, I get a system.drv file
is missing or corrupt, please reinstall. In my search for the system.drv
file, I discovered that my system32 folder is hidden and unsearchable from
explorer. Even at a command prompt, the dir command won't reveal the
directory. I can, however, 'cd' to the directory and 'dir' its contents.
Sure enough, no system.drv file exists. When I try to copy or expand
system.drv from a cab file, it is immediately deleted from my system. I
suspect a virus, but with the latest signatures, nothing shows. I've ran the
new versions of spybot and adaware with their respective, new signatures and
cleaned off all items that show. Throughout this, I am unable to make my
system32 folder visable and searchable again. I have tried the attrib -h on
the folder at the commanc prompt. I have ran sfc /scan now, but nothing was
fixed. Where else should I be looking and what else could I do? (I would
like to upgrade to XP Pro- but I want to do that with a functioning version
of 2K, so I don't drag problems into XP) Thank you for any help, I know
you've helped me before, in this group.
