A couple of days ago I got hit with some parasites and I
used CWShredder which cleaned up the problem, however
since then I've been unable to do the following:
1. The Windows Update won't work. I press the button and
nothing happens.
2. When I attempt to update through Microsoft, it
identifies the updates I require I press 'install' and
nothing happens.
3. I could not even post this message from my computer
because when I pressed "New Post" again nothing happens.
4. If I click on a hyperlink (for example from Microsoft
OneNote 2003) I get an error message, "An unexpected
error occurred". Hyperlinks seem to work from programs
other than Microsoft.
5. I've reinstalle EI 6 twice with no change.

Am looking at reformating my HD and I really would like
to avoid that hazzle. I've also searched the Microsoft
Database but could not find anything.

I would really appreciate help on this from anyone.

Thanks
Bryan
 
Bryan;
Follow steps #1 thru #4 on this link, make sure all tools are updated
within the last few days.
Do not assume a new download is updated:

Otherwise check for damaged /missing system files:
Start/Run
Type "sfc /scannow" ENTER
Follow prompts and have Windows XP CD available.
 
Hey i have never had this problem but i think i might have
an idea. try opening internet explorer and go to internet
options. then click the advanced tab. then click restore
defaults. Other than that i dont know what to do!
 
Hi Jupiter,
Done all that you suggested. Problem remains.
