HiI have been given XP pro computer from a friend who's asked me to fix it but it seems to be more than the usual malware problem so I am stuck.When it boots up there are no icons only the .lnk ...

Microsoft Corp. today confirmed that Windows XP users who repair the operating system cannot update their PCs with the latest patches because of a file included with the stealth update pushed out ...

There is also a partition on the hard drive that seems to contain all of the files needed to restore windows XP, so I assume basically that windows XP is on the drive.<BR>So here is the deal.

Miss the old XP Control Panel? You can get something close to it in Windows 7. But do you really want to?
