HELP! start.exe disabled..
I have a problem. When I go to start/Programs and try to
open one of the files a little dos window shows up and is gone faster than a bleep. I believe it is a dos window...it's black like a dos window, but it disappears so fast I can't see what it reads. I think my start.exe is disabled...but when I try to fix anything that little dos screen shows up so I'm unable to anything. I can open my Explorer but not Outlook Express. I can't open any of microsoft programs like Word. I'm sure it's a simple fix....I'M HOPING! Can anyone help me? Feel free to email me at THANKS!!!!!! |

You may have a hijacker program named Secret-Crush:
http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/s/secret-crush.asp Follow the manual removal instructions to determine if it is your problem. Also, see he http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner...sh/index.phtml It would help if you let us know what you have done so far, to get rid of the DOS window. Also, take a look in the Windows\Command folder, as there should be a valid file named Start.exe there (though you do not need it to run executable files). Post back with what you have done, and found, and what your results are. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Kris" wrote in message ...
