How do i Reinstall Windows on Dimension 3000

Apr 25, 2009

-   on my dimension 3000 I installed, ran, and rebooted as instructed a trojan horse removal program. NOW, I am able to sign to myu computer, it logs on, BUT there are no icons on my desktop...not even the START button, therefore I am not able to access anything from my computer.

I can access (f) keys, but it won't reboot to an earlier known good configuration.

-   had a serious virus problem. computer was working great after spyware removed using pest control. When it told me to reboot to complete repair I got a blue screen that said STOP: C0000135 (unable to locate component) This application has filed to start because basehwnfv32 was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. WELL, obviously the virus was imbedded on a system file and now it is removed. i have searched everywhere online trying to figure out what basehwnfv32 is and no luck. Its a dell Dimension 3000 w/no recovery CD. There is a recovery partition that I can access, but this really bites! The computer won't even go into safemode. it acts like it will start up but then goes right to the blue screen. Will a recovery disk help me from having to restore the computer and lose everything? -   spanishwoman
