Hello bre09,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

You are able to get to Web pages on the internet? When you put in a URL, you get directed to the correct location?

Just from reading your post, it looks like you have a virus, spyware or malware on your computer.
However, if it has just started, you might be able to try to use a system restore point you back to a point in time
before what started on your computer.

Normally, I would just like to the article with this information, but I don't know if you can view the items on the internet so I'll post here for you.

This article explains how to repair the operating system and how to restore the configuration of the operating system to an earlier point in time in Windows Vista. It describes how to use the System File Checker tool to analyze and replace system files in scenarios where you are troubleshooting a problem in Windows Vista. It also describes how to use the System Restore tool to restore the configuration of the operating system to a previous point in time.

The System File Checker tool

To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start
  2. and then type cmd in the box start the search .
  3. Right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

  1. At prompt command, the following line, and then press ENTER:

sfc/scannow

When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved. If the problem you are experiencing is not resolved, use the procedure that is described in the section "the System Restore tool.


The System Restore tool

Other troubleshooting methods, such as using the System File Checker tool, cannot solve the problem. If they do not resolve the problem, and the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start

type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the list of programs .

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  1. In the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.
  2. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
  3. Click Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  • When I download anything on the internet, it disappears. If I select run it does not start.

    I have windows vista Home premium SP2.  When I try to download anything I get the usual dialog box to give me options toRUN or to RECORD I tried to download using both perform and record.  If I select RUNfile will download completely, I watch it go all the way to 100%, then the dialog box disappears and nothing happens.  If I selectSAVE, same thing I can look at the file download 100% and then it does not appear in the destination folder.

    I tried selecting the destination as a desktop or different folders.  I disabled user account control and I also tried to create a new account.  I have also made sure that I use the admin account.  I use IE8, and have also tried to reset the default browser.

    The last thing I would do would be to restore to a point, when this was not the case, but I have no restore points available.  I just noticed that I had a problem when I discovered that Microsoft Security Essentials icon disappeared and I tried to download it again, I went on my laptop using another computer and a USB key.  After scanning, there is no virus so im lost of ideas now.

    Someone out there has a solution to this problem.

    Suggestions:

    1. determine if your user account is corrupted or not.
    Create another user account (assuming that it would be another admin account). Log on to this new account, do a download/install. Use option record and see if it get saved in the destination folder.
    If the answer is Yes, then your old admin account is corrupted.

    2 make a check of the file system. See if it finds corrupted files and see if it can fix them.
    In the end, it will tell you either...
    "no breach of integrity", or
    It finds files corrupted but unable to fix them.
    Try to install again and see if the problem is now gone.

    File system check... sfc/scannow

    Start button > Search box type cmd > look up, do a RIGHT click oncmd.exe > click onRun As Administrator > in this window cmd black and white, type at the prompt flashing sfc/scannow > press the ENTER key.
    Note: there is a space between 'sfc' and ' / '.
    To sit and wait. It will take time.
    When finished, exit the cmd window.
    Reboot (restart your computer)
