| 60181 | 2002-07-06 00:40:00 | I have been working on a Windows ME computer with computer viruses. I installed NAV and found that it had two viruses - W32.Yaha.F@mm and Trojan.AppActXComp. NAV appeared to remove these viruses but now I am having problems with running Windows programs. When I click on an icon on the desktop, or try and run programs from Explorer I get a message saying: "Windows cannot find ". You may have typed the name incorrectly in the Run dialogue or another open program cannot find a system file. Got any ideas? |
