other applications are in 32 bit and I am unable to change
them back because I don't know how to do it can someone
plz tell me how to change them back
 
Jaft, your daft !

This is not a virus this is a case of Video driver corruption.

Go into "Control Panel" then "Devices" and remove the video driver. Reboot the PC and the
system "should" Plug 'N Play and reinstall the driver(s).

Note that if you don't have the video drivers handy, you may not want to do the above
because it may require you to have those video drivers when queried for them.

I mixed your post with someone else, you didn't mention anything about a virus -- Sorry !

The rest of my reply remains the same however.

it had nothing to do with that
a guy has already emailed me with how to fix it and it
worked
it was a problem with netmeeting not being shut down right
and it messing up my icons i had to dl a program to make
my icon cache size larger and reset my icons
