AHHH!!! All the files are apperently missing from my computer:( I can't do anything because it keeps saying:

Windows cannot find ''. You may have typed the name incorrectly in the Run dialog, or another program cannot find a system file. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click Search.

So I did what it said it showed up but then I tryed to click on it and it appear as above. I dunno what to do and it wasn't like this yesturday. I can't even do scan disk because it says it cannot be access or w/e and all these errors pop up when I start my computer:(

Please Help!!

If you're using Windows ME, you can hit 'system restore?'

it sounds like you might have to format your hard drive and reinstall Windows.

ive had to reformat my drive two times, its a PAIN! i lost all my stuff, and then i had to get it all again, i could do without half of this stuff, but it would take too long to get rid of it all :p

heh heh... my older brother had someone do it for him for free, because he was some computer guy so he did it for us and because we knew him [his wife took their two kids and me and my little sister to school], so, he did it for us for free :D

If you have your restore disks you could do it on your own, it wouldn't cost anything at all.
