About half a year ago i bought a new computer. So far so good. IT was running smoothly until someday i got a virus and had to format. Did format and installed xp pro. Now these are the errors that occured after installing and rebooting: cli.exe wont start, says that it cant find a version of the runtime to run it.
The weird thing is, I already had installed .net framework 2.0 but it still says that it couldnt find it. And more: on startup tray icons like Steam, MSN, Sound and etc are not present and i have to start them manually. Another thing is that, it wont read game discs or wont launch games at all. So i formated yesterday and today it gave me the same error, but the weird thing is that the errors came when i went to my other old computer which is connected to the same router as the computer that is getting these weird errors. Because format c doesent work, im running out of ideas what to do next.

Thanks in advance.

make sure all your windows updates are installed. Also try getting a free virus scanner - if you have multiple computers on the network, theoretically the virus could be spreading to them and then back to your clean install once you plug it in.

Thanks for the info. I think before another format i will scan the older computer for viruses.
