Reply: (edit)Kemik, See my Response Number 2 in the thread at the link below. http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/105778.html As far as the spool.exe file did you do a search for files or folders to see if that file actually exists on your hard drive? Tufenuf

Reply: (edit)Yes, the files exisit, but even when I click them they say the files do not exist. It's as if the virus has setup a redirect or a default message blocking me from using the program. == Kemik ==

Reply: (edit)I think that .ini file worked as I can run Norton Anti virus (I which I will be resubcribing to and updating as much as possible) but I was running a virus check with "Stop-Sign Threat Scanner" so that might have also fixed the problem. Thanks for the help. == Kemik ==

Reply: (edit)Kemik, The Fixswen.inf file is what corrected your file association problems and I agree 100% with Abnormal. Stay away from the "Stop-Sign Threat Scanner" and get rid of it. It's bad news. Tufenuf
