Computer Geeks

Hi all,

Recently I formatted my computer and re-installed Windows 2000 Professional off the cd. I went on the internet and downloaded SP2 & SP4 immediately. However, after about 2 minutes of being on the internet, I started getting a series of Windows Messages like these:

---
Message from SYSTEM to ALERT on 7/24/2005 12:45:21PM

STOP! WINDOWS REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

Windows has found 47 CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR!

To fix the errors please do the following:
1. Download Registry Repair from: h t t p : / / w w w . m s - f i x . c o m (don't think it's a good idea to go there)
2. Install Registry Repair
3. Run Registry Repair
4. Reboot your computer
FAILURE TO ACT NOW MAY LEAD TO DATA LOSS AND CORRUPTION!

One option on the dialog box: OK.

There are 7 various messages coming up. Here are the other addresses given with different messages.

They keep popping up every 5 minutes or so.

Scanning with AVG didn't much, except a "Virus Detected" warning:
"While opening file: F:\WINNT\system32\jwrxdqg.exe Trojan horse BackDoor.Small.31.AE"

When I click on Info/Heal/Delete File/Move To Vault options on the AVG window, I get "Requested action not available for this object" error. I scanned with Norton AntiVirus, CCleaner, HijackThis, Ad Aware SE, and just about every other tool that claims they can get rid of this to no avail.

Anyone had this happen and/or know the solution?

Thanks heaps in advance,
Cath

I have a lot of experience in formatting and reformatting modern computers but my friend recently brought me an older Compaq Presario5050 and I cannot figure out how to do this with XP. This is going to be used as a small scale server at an American Legion Hall, and XP will work on this computer. When I went into the BIOS to change boot order, I came to realize there was no such option. I inspected the BIOS for about 15 minutes and there are very few options in general. How can I configure this so that I can get the computer to boot off of the CD? Thanks

Just thought some of you might find this amusing. I don't have anything against Linux, just some users suffer from delusions of elitism.

X-posted.


EDIT: It was something I found humorous, the fact that you all are getting your panties in a bunch over it insane.

I Think that means I need a BIOS update.
But Im Doubting myself.

Any suggestions?
