Programs will not run off of start up menu

I do not have any idea what happened or how it happened. I got on the
computer one day and tried to open My Pictures off of the start menu
and all I got was some noise and then Nothing! It does this when I try
to open 'My computer', 'My document' and even when I try to open a CD
off of the Run option. I can't even upload pictures off of my digital
camera to the computer because it will not allow it to open. Hopefully
there is someone out there that can give me some advice!

 

First piece of advice: tell us what OPERATING SYSTEM you are using. And what
service packs. Do you have current antivirus and antispyware software
installed? Have you been scanning regularly?

Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta1

or http://tinyurl.com/6fuq4

Download each, update it, run it. Update and run each one about once a week,
just like your anti-virus software (you *do* have anti-virus software
installed and updated, don't you?)

 

Someday you will have any idea what happened or how it happened.

Sorry, I can't help with any computer problems.

Try harder.

I think you are just scared to try.

Do you really expect me get you some advice?

 

I'm running Windows XP and most definately have Antivirus and
antispyware. I use a Firewall to be exact and I scan my pc atleast
twice a week. I don't know anything about service packs.

 

Have you tried a system restore back to when it was working okay? I'd try
that first. Then maybe run chkdsk, and finally try a repair install of
Windows if the first things don't work.

Service packs: XP has two already - SP1 and SP2. You should be running
Windows update regularly, and SP2 has probably been installed by now. If
not, DON'T install it until you get the other problems resolved. Check the
service pack level in system properties (general tab).

 

Would take this phrase and shove it up your ass please?

Thanks...
