Probably file is really corrupted - this occurs in certain cases e.g. damaged CD disk. have you tried entering safe mode? Let us know if it is the same.



It could be corrupt files and not startup programs. Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is. thanks for responding so quickly. i figured out my problem and found that i needed to enter the software code that came with my cd-dvd case. that got my software working. it has always been installed on my e drive with all of my games, but you gave me an idea and i might use the uninstall exe file that steam has to uninstall it, and then just reinstall it back into the drive.

so interestingly enough, apparently all it took was installing it into the same place it already was and i guess it just identified itself along with windows during the installation because now everything with it is fixed. thanks for the help! 3 ways u could do it:



1) make a shortcut and place it in the cab file generated, then edit the setup file and add the path to it and it will unzipp to the desktop. Drawbacks: if they choose to install your app in another folder, the shortcut wont work.



2) When the program is run make it add a shortcut to the desktop (i lost the code but if i find it ilol post it.



3) dont use the pakaging and deployment sytem, use another install creator eg Install Creator Pro. Drawbacks: you will probably have to use the pakage and deployment wizard to find out where the files need to go and then put them into the install creator manually.



hope that helps. when you go into "control panel" and remove the driver, on the same screen, you should have the option to install the driver and let windows search for it for you. the problem has been solved.

i got in contact with our provider and they were able to apply the proper access to the folder for verification.

thank you for all of your help and patience. this thread can now be closed. It' just standard c++ ifstream and ofstream. When the program starts, try to open the file, if it success then read it. The file is spyware releated ,download the spyware programs at the bottom of my post and update them and run them ,do not remove anything with hijsckthis ,copy and paste the log in here ,
