Windows ME
I recently purchase a piece of software that I couldn't
load. I get an error message "Error-File not found 1$#&*...This file is required by Setup." The "1$#&*" just that--a garbled group of characters that changed every time I tried to load the software from the CD. The software company says that I may have to reinstall Windows. What do I have to do to do this 'n' will I loose everything on my computer. Thanks, RS |

I would suggest that you ask the software company for a refund - it their
software can't decide what it needs to install, then it's not worth installing!! You may have a virus/spyware hijack download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling viruses are not present on your PC http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe - update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files. Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the CoolWebSearch hijacker. http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html Use CWShredder, the removal tool: http://www.merijn.org/files/cwshredder.zip http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...CWShredder.exe http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "RS" wrote in message ...
