Start\run\regedit just removes all the icons on the desktop for a few seconds and they then re-appear.
Any help appreciated.

and what do you see).
Very interesting: I have always used the short form, i.e. cmd.
start|run|cmd behaves in same way as Regedit (above), however
start|run|command is OK. Is there a clue anywhere here.
Malke said:Yes, that is a clue. Command is the older 16-bit program included in XP
only
to provide backwards compatibility for older (*much* older) programs. The
correct command prompt program to use in XP is cmd.exe. Since you can't
run
it, you need to follow the advice given previously by me and by Jose and
scan your computer for malware.

atandhmb said:Thanks. I will do that. meantime I have just restored, back to 1st May.
The
options I had were 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th May only.
Another possible clue. AVG8 will not update. I cannot bring up the message
again, but I did message to the effect that "access is forbidden by the
server". I would think that is another clue.
I have used AVG and ZoneAlarm for many years on all my computers.
Thanks again.

Thanks, Robear. Lordy, I hate when posters do this. He's now got tons of
people working on his issue in two separate places. And he's still not
taking care of bidness. [sigh]

This was originally posted on the OE site as the problem as perceived by me
was OE.
When it became obvious that it was more appropriate to the "XP" site I then
raised it here some 3 days later.
If you take the trouble to read my first post on this site, you will noteI
make no mention of OE issues and give very specific information.
I have posted 3 times here with facts, which incidentally still hold.
I have posted replies to the OE site as a matter of courtesy to P A Bear who
has given time to my problem.
And, incidentally, I have been following advice. As a start, last night I
ran the Windows Live One Care safety scanner, but this proved unsuccessful.
This was following P A Bears advice and I will follow in order what he has
suggested.
I had hoped the message from AVG Update - "access is forbidden by the
server" might have provided a clue.
If I am doing something wrong I am happy to fall in line with any reasonable
suggestion as I do appreciate the time that knowledgeable people give to
helping others who are struggling, but don't forget that it is natural to
follow one's own inclinations as well.

Do NOT use ComboFix without expert guidance!!

If you do a Google search for: cmd and regedit don't work
you will get some hits. Some more interesting that others and some
are quite useless, but look at the ones like this from
bleepingcomputer.com:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t221879....
MIRACLE (forgive caps)
The above solution worked first time: resolved the inability to open Regedit
and Cmd, and also fixed the "Access is forbidden by the Server" problem.
One thing. The file JWMRUS.YDS is not present anywhere in "my computer".
It is a mystery to me how this happened.
Having tried several Registry Cleaners without success I was about to
re-install.
I am so grateful to all who gave their time to this problem.
Thanks again.
These sufferers have also tried many things with your similar or
exactly problem to no avail.
There is another post that has the user runComboFixand his (your)
problem was solved. I think they may have sent a PM (Private Message)
or two that is not in some of the posts, but they have your esact
problem, tried a lot of things and these bleeping people got them
running.
The helpers there will look at your Hijack andComboFixreports and
seem to do quite a detailed analysis and lots of easy to follow
instructions, they seem very patient, but you have to register and all
that stuff to get help and I don't have your problem...
If I were you, I think I would try these people. It would be most
helpful to know later what fixes your problem.

Another person is having this same sort of problem and needs help.
as easy as possible.I feel their experience is not as advanced as yours so want to make it
Did you find your solution on that bleeping link?
Can you narrow down what you think was the ultimate fix from that WWW
listing?
Did you have to do any interacting with them to get it working?
I would like to try to come up with as few things as possible to try
for the future.
Really glad it is working!
as easy as possible.
I am at a loss as to why I had a problem in the first place although I
think
it was following a download of MS Office, but others on this thread think
this unlikely.
I posted immediately after the Bleeping link to indicate that is where I
got
the solution. I just followed the instructions and all was resolved first
time. I do not have a clue what caused the problem or, indeed, why the
instructions worked.
I was hoping someone might come up with a suggestion.
It is interesting that the file JWMRUS.YDS which seemed to be important is
not on my computer.
I am hoping that P A BEAR and the other guy can throw some light on this.
Thanks again.
