Hello people,

During the last week both my computers (home and office) have started behaving strangely. Whenever i double click a drive (besides the one with windows installed on it) windows asks me what program i want to use to open the file. It does not let me select the box "always use this program to open files like this" so i cannot select explorer and save that setting. I've been through the file associations and it has "open" set as default. Tried to change this to "explore" but that didn't work...

tried searching the net but found nothing.

I don't know if it's a virus coz none of the anti-virus softwares are picking anything up... tried mcafee, bit defender, trend micro, kapersky... but to no avail.

can't go into registry coz i don't know what i'm looking for...

tried a reg fixer but that didn't help...

Any ideas??

You have corruption.

You will have to do a Repair install.

Pop in the XP cd - boot to it - hit Enter at the first Repair screen - hit R at the second repair screen. Do not boot to the cd on subsequent restarts.
