My problem is like many, when I execute cont-alt-del, or run regedit or
msconfig the associated windows just flash on the screen for a second and
then disappear. I know this is often the sign of a virus, but I spent 10
hours on the phone with Microsoft yesterday and after convincing themselves
that no virus is present, they shipped me off to Windows Support, believing
my Windows XP was corrupted in some way. Because my XP is factory installed
on my computer, I ended up working with Dell support. Their answer is to do
a total wipe of my hard drive. I believe that there must be an intermediate
step that will repair or fix XP without me having to back up and restore all
my data. Suggestions?
