I am working on a fellow employee's desktop, it's a Dell 4600 running Win XP, first let me start by saying that this machine seems to load up fine, but once your in the madness starts, if you enter the control panel about half of the icons are missing and anything you click on will take some time to open up, the Ctrl + Alt + Del does nothing and if I try to run ANY application I get the following error "The application has failed to start reinstalling this application may fix the problem" if I try to start in safe mode I get the following error "Stop: c0000135 unable to locate component this application has failed to start because WINSRV was not found. Reinstalling this application may fix the problem, I was planning on running some spyware programs but I can't even get those installed. Any suggestions? Thanks.
