Yep, if the damage is so severe, I don't think RAM (or any other thing on board) would have survived.
Is there any firewall installed on ME computer?
Seems like the partition was toast even before running chkdsk. PeteC's advise is good enough.
Virus?
raingirl, what's the system config of your friend? (RAM/CPU etc.) Norton does slow the system down (by 10-50%). You can just disable it & see...
When did this start? Suggest that you upgrade your sound card drivers & reinstall your mouse to see if it helps.
A good rule of the thumb is to reboot after applying any patch. Reboot & see if you can get rid of this problem.

TonyT, I don't want the program to run after logon. I want it to be executed even if no one logs in (ie. you get the Welcome login screen).
Great. Would be watching out for your comments. Keep us updated.
RAID with mixed IDE drive. Hmm. Check up your motherboard doc first. Since most of the RAIDs being implemented for SATA are software/BIOS RAID,...
Expanding on the thread, is there a way to execute the bat file (or even a program) even if no one logs in?
An OEM OS is exactly the same OS that retails in shops. The only difference is that OEM is supposed to be supplied with new hardware (new...
A very powerful system. Can you just add another hard disk (maybe 80 GB or lower) to install ONLY OS on it? Keeps your data separate & safe.
Separate names with a comma.
