Windows 2000 problem, help?

[Sepen]

My Win2000 has been running great until the other day. It boots just fine.
But when I try to load IE or Outlook Express, or Winword, or even try a Run
command I get the following, (all of them are basically the same error, this
is the one trying to load IE)

cannot find file 'd😛rogram files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe(or one of
it's components). make sure the path and filename are correct and that all
librairies are available

I have installed nothing, searched for viruses etc. Even if I go into safe
mode I get the same exact errors.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I really don't want to do a reinstall if I
don't have to.

I would try running Scandisk or whatever it is they use in Win2k. I've only been using it less than 2 weeks myself. I'm trying to prevent anything like this from being a big problem by using Norton Ghost so I can back up to my last good image of my OS_apps partition. Scandisk should check to see that the file allocation table is in good order, and it sounds like something in there could be scrambled. Scandisk stands a good chance of fixing the problem. Good luck.
