holy crap!!! i need help plz
Right this is what happened:
I noticed that in the start menu the shortcut to winamp
had the wrong icon. So i tried to change it by
rightclicking -properties and looked for a choose icon
button. But there wasnt one, and as it had the wrong icon
i made sure it was pointing to the right target file. So
i selected winamp.exe in progarm files- winamp. Now
everything has completely gone mad! Whenever i try and
start any type of program, Winamp starts! for example
clicking on the shortcut to msn messenger, brings up
winamp, and where the song name usually is, it says MSN
messenger! This is the same for all programs Wmplayer
etc... Apart from Internet explorer (thank god) and
Email. So i tried to unintall winamp. Start-programs-
winamp-uninstall winamp. Winamp loads! and where its
meant to say song name it says the name of the winamp
uninstaller- uninstall winamp.exe or something. So i try
and do it manually, i deleted winamp in program files
(permanently. Now when i try and start anything nothing
happens atall. So i thought about trying to go back to a
restore point or something, by going control panel- but
none of the items in control panel work! I get error -
rundll32.exe 'the specified path does not exist check the
path and try again' -- Oh no! I am too scared too shut
down pc as im afraid it mite not start up again-lol its
that bad. I tried downloading winamp and installing it
again, but the exe wont launch from the desktop. Before
all this crap my Pc was absolutely fine. Does anywone
know what the **** is goiing on? If u do plz help
