Hi,

I have a little problem... I can't open notepad, windows security-center (and sp2 firewall settings), msconfig, I couldn't open regedit either but I got that one fixed with a "un-hooker". It gives no errors like "The administrator has.....", it just doesn't load. I started my computer in safe-mode and scanned for viruses, it found a trojan called Crypt.C.5, I deleted it but the problem was still there.

I know there has been threads about this before but non has solved my problem.
Thanks for the help!

Try to do a repair installation as the system files have beed corrupted.

sometimes a system restore resolved such issues.

Remember to do any back ups from the same partition of your windows "system files" before reinstalling or recovering ;)
