Help?
I tried to copy the file "rarepair" to a cd on my Sony computer to take to fix another computer since the broke computer couldn't get online. I have dsl and the broken one has dial up. They both have XP.
Now it has locked up my sony computer's "Control Panel", "My Computer" etc so that I cannot access anything to control my computer. It did not copy to the cd. I went to "Explorer" somehow and was able to delete the file from the folder "files waiting to be burned on cd" since it would not let me burn it. It had a lower right tray icon that said "files waiting to be burned to cd" click here. But when I tried to click it would blank out all the icons on my desktop for a few seconds and then they would come back, but it still would have the icon in the tray with the same "click here to burn files". etc.
What did it do to my Sony computer? I have gone back to a restore twice with 2 different dates. Once, before I was able to delete the file "rarepair" and once after. Both times it said that it worked, however, I was still unable to open my "Control Panel" or "My Computer". I am able {obviously, since I am here

} to get online ok on the Sony, so it didn't mess with my dsl settings. I can get to "run" from the start menu, but not to "search". I also can get to the programs on the start menu, just not the "Control Panel" or anything to do with controlling my sony computer.
Also, for the broke computer (the 1st one), how do I "make sure no dial up tools are installed"? Any suggestions on how to get the "rarepair" file to the computer that cannot get online due to the "Error 50"?
Thanks for any help you may offer!

I was able to fix the original computer problem by taking the computer to my dsl line and changing the dial up to dsl and accessing this site and downloading the rarepair file that way. The fix works great once you get it downloaded.
I do however, still have the problem with the 2nd computer with not being able to access any controls. I can access file stuff through Windows Explorer, but nothing works with control panel etc.
