Virusssssssss

Sounds Like a Virus
Perhaps a bios virus
Open your computer look near your battery
Usually there is a jumper very close by which zeros your bios and sets it back to its default state.
Or you can just remove the battery and short the terminals together CAREFULLY for about 20 seconds.
Most pentiums are set to boot from a cd but not all-Enter the bios and find the area which indicates boot. Set it to boot from the cd first.
Most bios auto detect your basic hardware now.
Then try to boot your windows cd.
Reformat your drive-I prefer 32 bit mode for a variety of reasons.
Then reinstall XP
 
i cant open my comp, way 2 much work. and its not a virus, i checked it with MANY types of anti virus and spyware/adware etc removers.

my problem is that i cant reformat it :S is there a way to fix this? maybe buy a new hard ware or something?
 
maybe you just have a lot of useless info on your computer and thats what slowing it down check how much space you got on your computer
 
belive me, its not it but i solved it, i took out all external hardware, i updated all my hardawares and it works now, now im gonna format it and hope it doesnt happen again. thx alot guys
