Hello guys,
Any help you can give to me will be greatly appreciated. My machine is doing weird things that I'll describe below.
1. Cut/Copy/Paste functionality is disabled in almost all applications. When I copy something and want to paste it, the Paste option is not enabled. It's like the data never made the clipboard.
2. I cannot drag and drop files across folders. I cannot even move the files around on my desktop. Even if I try copying a file and pasting it, it doesnt work.
3. Internet Explorer will not open a page in a new window. If there is a link which will open a page in a new window, it wont work.
4. Windows Media Player does not run. It says "Can't perform operation. Low Memory."
5. When I tried to fix something in the registry after looking up Microsoft's website, the registry window shows up for about 10-15 seconds and just dissappears. It is as if something is closing it down as soon as it is detected.
6. Any new application that requires Windows Installer does not install. I tried to install Norton and it said Windows Installer not found. When I tried to install Visual Basic 6.0, it said Cannot find ACME setup.
I have a 500 Mhz processor with 512 MB of RAM and I'm running Windows 2000 Professional. When i restart, the machine is fine for about 5-10 minutes and then all these problems reappear. I've just installed Windows 2000 about 3 weeks ago. Is this some virus that I can't catch? Any help that I can get will be awesome.
Thank you in advance
