Ok here's the deal. I always play in safe mode, right. K. Well, when I play in regular xp, it's usually to play Diablo II or Take screenshots in continuum. So, I go and create a xp account to log on, I click it. it starts loading, then a pop-up comes and says something like: "Failed to load application explorer.exe..etc" I restarted comp, recreated and everything. I tried running a system scan but my anti-virus programs are out-dated, my friends dad is a computer wiz. In 2 weeks he will install a foolproof anti-virus and spyware, but until then I need your help. Any ideas or anti-viral program suggestions? PS:Problem is worse, it's now affecting me in safe mode.
