This is a newly installed legal copy of WinXP Pro on a friend's computer. Everything was fine until a .rar file from her friend in Russia was scanned with AVG as clean, unzipped, and then everything went bad. I've done a repair install of XP but, the problem remains. All the desktop icons will open their associated programs except "My Computer" it just shows the flashlight looking for whatever, the same thing happens in 'explore'-- no drives are shown except "C." The bios shows all the installed drives correctly but Windows can't find anything but "C." Any ideas?
I guess the next step will be to format and reinstall, strangely enough the computer will boot from the CD Rom even though it doesn't show up in Windows.
