The following all happened to me in one day. ow.

1) first,I thought I'd upgrade my geforce 4 drivers. so i
did. As it was installing, at 13%, it uptaded the
hardware
information database, and after that, gave me some error
saying that install has caused an error in ikernal.dll

That message wouldnt leave even when I clicked close
rather than ignore. So I restarted my system.

2) When I restarted, windows wouldnt load! it just froze.
I went to safe mode and ran a virus scan with norton
antivirus, which found 20 something threats. It could
onle
fix 12 of them. I installed the drivers again, and it
worked this time, and I could start my computer

3)after I did so, when i click on even a regular folder,
it gives me an "open with" dialog box. when I right click
my folders, there are TWO open commands, and only the
second works. also when I run scandisk, it finds
something
in my temp folder that has an invalid last modified date.
I tell it to fix the error, and then I tells me that
windows or some other program(exactly those words) has
written to the drive while I was scanning, and tells me
that it has to restert the scan. Then It does the same
thing over and over again.

How can I fix all of these problems? (i tried restoring
to
an earlir dates presets, but it tells me it won't do it
for some reason.) sorry this is so long. thanks.
