it repair my computer? it is service pack one and i have upgraded to service
pack 2. also if i do repair this way will anything happen as far as settings
or my other programs ect. thanks for the help guys
 
In order to start a repair install you'll probably need to create an
integrated install folder and run setup from there.

do you think i have to do a repair install or is there a way i can repair
this issue manually?
 
A repair install may not even work. This is more than likely the work of
some malware.
