Programs wont load, icons disappear

[Capraatt]

I have the strangest problem with my XP system. The computer seems to boot up
fine, but when I click on an icon to load a program, the icons on my desktop
all disappear for a moment, then come back, and the program won't load. After
many attempts, I may be able to get something like I-Tunes up and running.
But after clicking on a song, or moving around the screen, the program will
abruptly shut down and take me back to the main desktop. Through all of this,
I get NO warning or explaination.. no error messages, nothing at all. I can't
click on control panel to see a log... the computer just stares at me. I have
up to date anti-virus software, adaware, etc. Any thoughts???

I would guess you have some damaged system files. Try running :
SFC /SCANNOW
or do a repair XP setup.

You sick f$ck, I did that to prove a point. You lied when you told everyone
you would stop stalking me if I took your name out of my sig and email. I
did that against my better judgment after initially refusing to do so even
after all the emails I got telling me to try it and see. As a favor to
Microsoft, because your sick a$$ was disrupting their groups, I changed it.
They also told me that if I change it and you continue to stalk me they will
ban you. Your sorry a$$ name is nowhere in my sig or email address now leave
me the f$ck alone you sick bastard.
