Old Storage Comptuer Infected...ran Read and Run me...

Hi,
I have an old VIAO desktop running Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 with service pack 3.

The problem is that no applications will initialize and not files will open. Someone gave up on this clunker but since I have no other computer, I have pulled this oldie out of storage in an attempt to use it minimally and recover the files....

Here's what happened:



Problem: no program file or apps will launch. Can't edit or remove programs because I can't access control panel in normal mode
Only able to access internet...can not use anything installed on the desktop or elsewhere in normal mode. Can not install and set up a new antivirus.

In safe mode:

uninstalled old antivirus
installed avast
Could not uninstall Java 6 updates 5, 7, 17 (not accessable)
could uninstall netscape
dounloaded new Java
can't install new Java. Windows Installer reads "The System administrator has set policies to prevent this instalation"
tried to run Java set up as administrator. Error Message reads: "a divice attacted to the system is not functioning.

Followed ALL other MG suggestions to delete old Java for NO CLUE's post with this same issue: (including trouble shooting with SunRa)
ran ccleaner and ccleaner reg cleaner.
Downloaded and followed all trouble shooting options for SunRa could unzip but could not use file. Error same as Java install error.

couldn't run windows installer clean up instillation: error reads "Command line option syntax error, type Command/? for help"
manually deleted Java files from C drive
Icons in Control Panel are still there but no files in the Control Panel Java center.

rebooted: updates still show in install list in control panel
tried to install new Java anyway now that old files were manually deleted: Error reads "system admin has set policies to prevent this instillation.
Ran as admin, error reads "a device attached to the system in not functioning.
moved on to rest of read and run me.

Can't determine system bit count.
winmsd.exe bring up the Help and Support Center for Viao.

Sysdm.cpl shows XP Home Edition Version 2002 SErvice pack 3

Fix it for me shows: same error message as JAVA

put msconfig to normal start up mode.

no known malware programs to uninstall

disk emulation softwear disabled

Can't download or open the page for combofix

Couldn't download Root Repeal, not sure of system bit size.

ran SAS and got a log

Downloaded REVO installer

tried to uninstall Java: error reads "Windows installer Servce could not be accessed.
four left over registry items

Scanned for left over registry items. Warning reads " Note: please carefully verify the bolded items! Only checked bolded items and their subitems will be deleated"
Example feature: 8A0F8423318660117AB7000B0D610005
(114 registry items found)
I cancelled because I didn't know how to verify

ran mbam + log

MGtools Process Dll.exe-
application Error: The application failed to initialize properly (oXc0000135) Click on OK to terminate the application.

Yikes! Thanks if you can offer any help here...

 

Thanks Kestral13!,
I must have missed that. Unfortuanately Microsoft. NET would not install.
Error message reads: Microsoft. NET Framework Setup failed. If this problem continues contact Product Support Services...
