ok well EVEYR single program has some strange error...i tried installing firefox and i get 7-zip error unspecified error ect...i tried installing AVG anti virus and i get some strange error...then i installed ie 6, and i keep getting random error and ie closes....its strange....idk and i have no clue what to do...someone said i am missing cabinet files in my windows directory...well wher od i get them and how do i put them there...
pleeaaase help. thank you.

When ME loads, it either has the CD or the .cab files to refer to for file retrieval. One can hope yours haven't been erased, just made almost inaccesable. Think I'd proceed under that assumption and try to get rid of a 'nasty'. Do all the relevant scans with crossed fingers and hopefully regain access.

You could try a Restore to a point before the problem started.

"someone said i am missing cabinet files in my windows directory"

Yes, but does 'someone' really know??

Hard to trounbleshoot 'strange' (or random) errors - are they in a secret code, or could you actually relate a few of them?
