"Trial Version of Delphi"....Help!

i used to have windows 98, when entering "my computer" or
any other places on my pc, an error message would appear
saying Error "Trail version of Delphi has expried" but
was able to use my pc to an extent. I decided to upgrade
to xp hoping this would solve the problem but now i
cannot see my harddrive or enter the control panels??

Any ideas would be much appreciated.!

Do i have a virus???

I think what you will ultimatly need to do is reinstall XP from a bootable version, but this has a minor drawback of losing all of your data.

What you could try is going into the registry and doing a search for Delphi, providing you have no Delphi software you wish to keep I suggest deleting all references to it. After all, how much worse can things get, your pretty much up chocolate creek without a flake.

By the way its start run and regedit or regedt32 (no real difference for this example just personal preference)
