some virus then has
A. Corrupted it very badly
B. Deleted it
C. Moved it

Easiest thing I can think of to do (this late) is to just backup all your stuff and then try a repair install (or full re-install) to fix it.

is there some were i can download the explorer.exe

and if the only way to do the install is with the cd?

 

[scotia]

I've had a similar prob before, and replaced the explorer.exe, but it would still not run. You can try, but if unsuccessfull you are going to needto backup your stuff you need, and reformat/restore XP like Lord AnthraX suggests.

that website alows you to re install windows so that is what im going to do

what are good back up programs?

How can a website allow you to re-install windows?

 

[scotia]

it lets you by having the files to make a backup disk.
burn it then use it just like having the windows cd
