Need help on how to get My Computer.exe file to function again. If I double click it many time it will shut down the PC into a blue screen saying that it will prevent it to not destroying my PC...


Hi Proximon... I have a problem. My Computer.exe folder is currupted. When I double click it, all it say is, cannot find /Recycle .. so on. Maybe some virus has change the name. I use anti-virus removal and it cannot find the virus. Do you or anyone know how to fix this problem? My friend said that no matter how I format my hard drive it will still be like that. This happen when he put his damn USB SD thing into my PC, I think he effective mine... Thanks in advance...

It could be a virus, or just a corrupted OS.

If you have run a few anti-virus programs, such as Avast and AVG, (both free) and found nothing, then the next step would be to download and use a registry cleaner tool.

If those steps don't work, then I would boot from your XP CD and run an XP repair.
