Program Boxes Disappear

Here’s a doosie,…..When I bring up a program (not all) including "System Information" and "System Restoreâ€, The window will start to come up, Then the whole box disappears, Just short of reveling what’s in it, And another tid bit is Internet Explorer works, Until I go on certain pages it will disappear (seems arbitrary) also, Everything else works (as far as I can tell) Including Netscape, and Other programs, I have even went as far as re-installing WindowsXP Pro. and downloaded all the updates………..Virus?

In case it helps to know what I am using "¦.WindowsXP Pro, DFI nb72-sc mother board, P-4 1.6MHz, Nvidia Riva TNT2 model 64, 40gig hard drive, And the standard CD\DVD drives.

THANK YOU!!!

 

Strange it is. You may get someone with a solid answer. Until then:

A couple of WAGs here - memory or bad fan and heat build up.

Heat - run with the cover off for a day or so and see if it helps.

Memory - remove part and see what happens. Try until you have run without each of your memory boards.

 

Found the culprit, I virus called "Funlove "?,...Never hreard of it, I'd really thank you very much for helping me out...!!

 

In case you need em - removal instructions Here and a bunch of other places.

I picked this one because it has very clear directions for dealing with NT and in this case, XP = NT. The instructions for the 9x/ME systems won't work well for you.

And BTW - this critter isn't very new (unless you have a recent variant I'm not familiar with the virus is a late 1999 version) so you are probably in need of some serious updating on your AV protection.

 

Ohh it definitely flew in under my radar, so lessen learned here?,. Keep you’re Anti-Virus up to date!!!
