Hi
I'm having a helluva time with win2k right now
I don't know if I have the worm or not but I am trying to fix a problem where drag and drop and copy and paste all are broken in the Explorer and in all apps on my win2k machine. Then I start getting no taskbar, desktop, etc on login. I do ctrl-alt-del, run Task Manager, new a cmd shell, cd to WINNT, run explorer. Voila, desktop and all appear just like normal. I have to do this on every login now.
I think I must have a virus or something so I go to Microsoft.com to try to install some updates/patches.
So I try to install the SP4 update since I see the worm update andI need SP4 to do this. Well SP4 won't install because it says that I have "tftp in use by another application" while no apps are running.
I simply cannot install SP4 or the latest worm update. I cannot do anything after login without bringing up Task Manager and then manually starting an Explorer. And each time I do look at Task Manager after login there is a process that starts whose name contains all random consonants and is always different random consonants. A new virus/worm?!
I have run Norton to no avail (found no problems). I removed Norton and installed Panda AntiVirus. It found 16 viruses and removed them it said. Still no change.
Any ideas? If I can somehow unlock my tftp file that seems to be currently in use always.
Please help!
