When I startup my puter I get a "new hardware wizard" window but it doesn't list the type of hardware nor does it find the driver for it.

I can't run a scan disk because something is writing to the hard drive. I did run a scan disk and defrag in safe mode. But it won't work in normal.

I deleted most of the programs running in the background, cept for sys and exp, scandisk still won't work

I went into MSCONFIG to eliminate most of the crap in startup, but when I hit OK or APPLY it locks up. and when I restart the next time none of the msconfig changes I made take effect.

when I go to run some programs (like word) it won't run, word pops up for a second then it says I have to go to setup before I can run word. There is nothing in the setup dir. that will set it up.

When I go to scan for programs to add or delete, there are none listed

I can't install my yahoo dsl, nor does my old installation work.

I ran a virus scan off of boot disks (I used v-com's utilities latest from there website), showed no virus's

I ran ad-aware and the system is clean.

Any ideas?

I'd run hijack this just to make sure you're clean, link is in my signature. Run it and post a log here.

I ran Hijacker and here are the results. anything look interesting? thanx
