A Major Problem

Guest

Hi i have been trying to fix my parents comp for about the last day now but something isnt working correctly with it.
when i try to access the control panel windows iexplorer has to quit and be restarted.
when i try to open some programs, windows says a certain dll file is not a correct windows image. A few errors arise with zone alarm that were not there before (when it starts up). My parents are using XP Home. P3 700 MHZ 512 sd ram.
Oh also sometimes when the computer is not shut down correctly like if another user is signed on and the comp restarts. at start up a blue screen appears checking allocation size and files on the C drive and then if they are like temp files makes them real files. uh just need help on if there is an easy way to fix this or not.
Peer Guardian will not start up and parents want to remove an account from the comp but we cant get into the control panel.
i am not sure on what other programs wont run but those are a few that wont run. i am thinking an re-install of zone alarm would work for the errors but not sure what to do with the other problems.
Thank You for anyones help in advance.

.
probably no easy fix
easy fix would be system restore to before the problem
started,if you can.otherwise do the below.
1 update virus definitions and run a full scan
2 download and run spybot security.kolla.de

3boot to xp cd and recovery console run chkdsk /r

and if that doesnt resolve try 307545 website
support.microsoft.com
