Help... broken computer

Okay, so about a week ago my computer suddenly stopped working correctly 1. I can't run Search 2. when i open services.msc i get nothing unless i click on standard... and from there i can't open properties 3. I can't seem to download anything 4. I can't make much of any file transfers 5. My Computer can't play audio it says it's missing a mixing device...(i don't believe this is related but i need Network DDE to be enabled to fix it and i can't do that in the computer's current state) 6. And as far as i can tell i can't run system restore I believe i have the same issue as this guy http://www.computing.net/answers/wi... xp/servicesmsc-broken-no- properties/74290.html but as far as i can tell there is no solution and i can't find any way to fix this Thanks

My task bar at the bottom doesn't show anything either

Your pc is infected by virus. Do you have any antivirus installed? Do you have latest update?Did u scan for virus? U better backup your data to another partion and try to repair(sometimes repair won't solve anything) if failed to repair u need to reinstal os.

originally i ran malware bytes once or twice a month and avg once every week or 2... but whatever is doing this knocked out malware bytes... i would gladly reinstall the os but there are files from work that i need to get off of the computer and i need to find a way to get them onto a flash drive
