I would assume it is some sort of spyware or virus. Have you run adaware, spybot or any anti-virus software?

When the search result window is up, try pressing F3.
I'm not sure what's causing this, and I've never seen it, but that'd be my guess.

If you know the drive letter, or care to guess a few times, you might be able to get into the drive from the run command.

Open your start menu and select run. Then type in C Colon

Code: Select all

c:
to open your c drive. My USB drive is usually F:, maybe G:.

A: floppy
B: floppy
C: HD
D: DVD/CDRW
E: Virtual DVD
F: JumpDrive
G: Camera

You may need to adjust up or down depending on your hardware.

Try booting from your windows cd and running the repair tool. It may clear up a few problems.
