"contains an invalid path" problem...

[weifan]

I have windows XP with sp2. Since too many spyware and trojan, I have used several softwares to clean my system. However, after cleaning, the system always reported "contains an invalid path" for all my new installed softwares. For example, after installing CuteFTP, from my first run, it said "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\Files\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP contains an invalid path". It looks put an extra "Files\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP" after the path.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall without any difference.

Can someone please help me to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Roger

Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click your Drive icon/ Properties/ Tools/ Error Checking.

If I were you I think I would go back to a restore point just before you made the change and see if that helps.
