Strange occurances on xp

[robqx4]

My computer is acting very strange lately!!
Any time I try to access the My Computer area the computer acts like it will switch me to that screen, then the screen goes to a blank desktop and then my normal desktop appears in a couple of seconds. Sort of like if I would have refreshed the desktop. The exact same thing
happens when i'm in internet explorer (online) and I try to type anything in the address bar, I am instantly kicked off line back to the desktop (like stated above). Also, if I try to access any media areas on my computer the same thing happens!! This also happens in Safe-Mode.
By the way I have run multiple spyware scans, virus scans, registry fix scans, defraged the registry & hard-drive & deleted every temp file you can think of!!
HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!
This is driving me up the wall..........Please, can anyone
HELP ME with this odd problem without having to
re-format and re-install my windows xp??

Thanks!!

repair xp


boot to cd, follow install (not first repair), accept eula.

it'll search for exisiting installations of xp. Highlight the your install and press r to repair your os.


patch your system afterwards.

I was going to tell you to download and install HighJackThis.
You can post the log in the Analyze section of the spyware/virus thread.

The repair will help if its your OS messing up your explorer.
