I hope I am posting the right information in the right place. I have Windows XP. Recently I have been unable to open many of the programs on my computer. First I became unable to open Microsoft Works, receiving this message "Works cannot find the files needed to complete the task. The files may be missing or corrupted. Reinstall works ". Spyware Doctor tries to start, but never actually manages to open, instead offering a 30 second countdown which simply starts over at 0. On my Start menu, "All Programs" no longer opens. Upon opening my "Add and Remove Programs" window, I found that only a handful of programs were even listed. Thereafter I tried to install AVG, but upon opening the AVG installer, I get sent to this website: http://www.avg.com/us-en/platforms and cannot see where to go. I tried to restore to the last saved point but got an error both in and out of safe mode. Then I resorted to my factory Restore CD, which also gave me an error. I don't know precicely what the errors were when I tried to restore, but if they are necessary, I will try to restore again and get them. Help?
