Today, I installed Spybot on an older PC with Windows 98. Installed successfully and ran a test. Everything went smoothly and seemed to be working well.
After removing the files detected, nothing on the desktop or start menu will work, except the IE shortcut on the desktop. I went back in and restored the files spybot had removed and this didn't clear up the issue. Uninstalled Spybot and still no luck and I am pretty much at a standstill now, even after booting up in safe mode.
I can't get into control panel, any programs, nothing. Double clicking on My Computer goes to the windows 'find files or folders' window and when clicking on a item in the start menu it says that it has been removed or is unaccessible.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!
