issue number one i was connected to the internet browsing ebay all of a sudden an update message popped up but did not provide an option if i wanted to install it or not . it just installed on its own!! when the installation was complete again no option to restart , It just restarted on its own. when My computer rebooted My firewall is gone and everytime i try to connect it it says (ics) service not running do you want to start it. of course i click yes then comes unable to connect to internet connection sharing/windows firewall service. I check policy to turn it on from there it kicks back error 2001 specified driver invalid I reviewed this site and i found the Netsh Winsock reset which i tried. when i reset the computer the firewall was back for a few secs then it went away and again same issue this time it would not come back on at all i downloaded ad-ware2007 to a flash drive tried to install it on my computer and what did i get? error message not valid win32 application my xp cd got cracked when i moved but i have the product code still so a friend Gave a copyof the cd. also tried to install that same error msg not a valid win32 application Can someone please Help me with this I dont know what to do???????

Do a system restore to a date/time before the trouble started.

After changing the boot order in the BIOS to boot from the CD first, you must save the changes. Then you restart the computer. If it does not boot from the CD, I would suspect a defective CD. And, no, you do not need a boot floppy for XP. Jim

How does the repair work? Im having the same problem because I had a trojan
horse virus. I think it disable the windows firewall etc. How do I repair the XP Files. Once I put the CD in, i can get to the repair mode but it doesn't do anything. Thanks "TLWilliams904" wrote: Thanks that helped with my issue with trying to boot from the cd

Hi Shenan,
I followed the XP Repair Install Link you gave me, and it keeps restarting itself under installing windows. It doesn't complete it. It doesn't go to the finalizing installation part of it. When you restart it also wants to disk so I can't take it out either. Windows is not loading up properly. "Shenan Stanley" wrote: Masters wrote: How does the repair work?
