I cannot access the C drive, get the above error message. Also, when doing a right click "OPEN" and "EXPLORE" are not written correcly, I can only see some weird characters. Could it be a virus?

dani_uk, You may want to try the "Drive" Association Fix for XP at the link below. Download and save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. I'd create a new System Restore Point prior to running the reg file.
