my comp crashed with windows 98, had a virus or sumtin,
it took over my computer,starting with taskbars and
rapidly i lost control, soon wouldnt even load any
windows, ineeded my chess,so daily id try my diagnostic
disc, win98 reboot disc<(floppy)and winXP, disc, nothing
for 3 months, then one day it accepted my XP disc,
sweeeeet. i have chess! XP performance was great, just
comp still has old infected win98, and slowly but surely
it is taking over my win xp! comp is getting full too.
because i cant erase win98 effectivly, and virus shut
down my d-drive. im running out of time,, my task bar and
start menu dissappeared tonight!srry so long, i read sum
of ur answers,so lucky to have found u before it blanks.
how can i blank this comp of all infected windows and
get it to load fresh? my d-drive aint broke but virus
wont let me use it. thx eric
 
You need to backup any data you want saved and do this:

Boot off your Windows XP CD, choose to Install Windows, then format all
drives with NTFS. You may need to reboot if it doesn't allow you to
format all of them at one time and keep doing this until you have
formatted all drives with NTFS. Once you have done this, then you can
isntall Windows XP on the C Drive. Now you are virus free and you can
reload all of your programs and data.

If you don't want to do this, at least go here and scan your computer
for viruses:

And download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com and run that too.
