Malwarebytes helping me

<< < (3/3)

ksiemb:
Well, thank you for your assistance, Shane. I was able to run the repair normal mode. Apparently whatever Malware that messed up my OS, did a good job at it. I was not sure what to expect of this repair. and was running it at request of Malwarebytes. Anyhow, safe mode still doesn't work, search, manage, and other MMC functions are kaput, ie missing files, soooo I am up the proverbial creek. Thanks again, for your help.
MBAM did say the system is now clean, but OS is probably to far gone to correct.

A repair install of Windows would be a good idea.

My program fixes registry problems and such but doesnt replace or touch any system files. So if files are missing that might be the problem.

You could always download and run the system readiness tool from microsoft to see if it can replace so of the missing files.

Yes, a repair install, but I have no XP Pro CD  :sleep:
On another note, Do you know of any software that compares two folders/subfolders on two different hard drives and report  the missing modules between the two ? Specifically \windows on two Hard drives ?
I have to look at why there are two system32 folders under windows, and why there is
a windows2 folder with another system32 subfolder. A second installation and maybe my missing files are in it ? !

Also can you tell me the command and format of the instructions to extract a file from an XP installation CD. I am desperate enough to extract from XP Home Edition CD !

Shane:
I dont know of any programs off the top of my head, but I do know there is a lot out there.

As for XP, that is an easy one, all the files are in the i386 folder on the xp cd and they are compressed
