Xavier, it sounds like your OS has died on you somehow. sounds to me like you are gonna have to reinstall it. sorry to be the bearer of bad news. it could possibly be bad sectors on your hard drive too which means you need a new one.

When you say you "can't open", do you get any error message?  Most errors will point you to the problem.  If the object just won't open, consider saving it to your hard drive first and then attempting to open it.

It sounds like a trojan, one that causes an error in Windows loading. If you don't have an antivirus program, get one of the good free ones like Avast or AVG.\n\nThen get SpyBot and Ad-Aware from Download.com. Install all three and run all three. You can use these links to find them quickly. \n\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1/\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html\n\nhttp://www.download.com/

Actually I don't understand these terms. Could you please tell what is really happening in your computer? (like, a program's not opening, windows can't let you in, etc.)\n\nBut usually the source of problem in a computer is a virus. So go get a cleaner.

you probably have a virus.  To take care of this you want to start your computer up in safe mode.  Start computer and every three seconds hit F8 untill it gives you a list of options scroll to safe mode.  Windows should start normally run a virus scan and an adware scan.  Then restart.  Should take care of the problem.  If not do a system restore Start>All programs> Accessories>system tools>system restore and do it to a day before when it happened

The error message means that the computer is unable to find anything attached to the second IDE controller in the computer.  Go into windows and check to see if any of the drives you normally have or gone (such as a second drive or you CD/DVD drive).\n\nIf not, then the BIOS of the computer reset itself  (If the BIOS battery is old, that can happen if the PC sets for a while unused or is unplugged.  You may have to go into the BIOS and look for a place to disable drive 0 on the second controller so it will not look for a device there.  (That is why the PC is booting so slowing, it is spending time like for a device that is not there).\n\nIf you do have a missing device, you are probably going to have to have a pro look at the PC to determine why the device is failing.

First try running a System Restore. If that doesn't work you will have to boot to the Windows CD and run a "repair installation".

I've seen this message before and the cause was the cable being used to connect the hard drive to the motherboard.  Try to swap out the cable and see if it works.  \n\nOtherwise, you might have a hard drive problem.

It happens, just go to 'my computer', then find the drive and double click, it will then start up. It can get annoying but windows is lame so what do you expect?

Seems like you were using Automatic login feature.\n\nJust restart your computer by pressing the Reset button once. \n\nYour PC should bootup and login automatically. If this is not working, post again. We can try more ways.

Right click on My Computer icon> properties>Click on Advance Tab>Down at the bottom find Start up and System Recovery> hit the settings> uncheck---Under System Failure----Automatically Restart..\nThat should take care of it temporarily.\nU might wanna rebuilt your PC from scratch...U might have some other serious issues which is causing it.\nGood Luck.

You most likely have a virus and/or a corrupt file.  Search the exact error message on a working PC and see if there is a removal tool that you can download to use on the affected PC.
