Properties view displays all the settins, theme shows right and when I leave my computer on some time it crashes. How can I fix it with the windows CD? Compatibility Wizard says bad ini file__

When I try to change the background, display shows theme instead, properties and when I leave my computer on at a certain time, it freezes. What can I do to fix this? How can I use windows CD to repair, when I put the CD and you press the 'r' key, nothing happens, please help?

The lack of tabs in display properties usually indicates a malware infection. First run the scans and do not skip the preparatory work. If the machine stands (not frozen) in Safe Mode (where you'll be scanning), it is also a good indication of infection. Regarding the CD does not start, you probably don't have the computer configured to boot from the optical drive. But no matter, because enter the Recovery Console (which is what happens when you press 'R' from the XP installation disk) won't be useful in your situation anyway.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
