computer help

[bdld]

here's the deal, whenever i click on 'browse' to attach a file, my browser fucks up (IE tells me there was an error and it has to close, netscape just dissapears, outlook dissapears when i try this as well).
when i attempt to download something and save it to disk, the window that shows the progress of the download freezes, meaning i cant save anything to my computer. everything else is fine.
i assume this is a windows xp problem, what are the possible solutions? my last resort is to format c.
if you want to help me either fix it or show me how to format c on xp.. icq = 25564587, i'll give you something for your time.

break it down into as many small pieces as you can and mail the parts to random addresses from the phone book.

netscape Vs Outlook...

actually, if you boot from the xp cd you should be able to scorch your partition(s) in setup and try again - pretty drastic though.

XP as a recovery function, use it!
