windows XP no executables work

I am running Windows XO build 2600 with SP1. My computer started slowly messing things up while I was working. Then I shut it down and when I restarted it, I got nothing but a long beep that killed my ears. I cut it off for a few days and then I restarted it and let it beep its little heart out, eventually it tried to start. A DOS looking screen came up and said that I didn't have enough memory to run Windows NT. I needed a min. of 7 MB. I have 512 MB. Then I restarted again and again and eventually my desktop and my computer came back to life. But much o my dismay, no executables will run! What do I do?

THANKS for any help that anyone might can give to me!

 

sounds like you got nailed with a virus

 

No .exe

Is ther anything that I can do remedy this situation?

Do an online scan.

The first part of the cure, is to diagnose the sickness.


Find out if you have a virus.

IE won't start?


Rename its extension to .com , or (in the event this is Swen), .cmd.

 

It won't open this page. Any more ideas?

thanks
