Whenever I start my computer, I always get the message "Please re-install the following module to your system32 directory: WOWEXEC.EXE" before it finishes booting up. I didn't think it was a big deal until I tried to reinstall my drivers for my LEXMARK printer and it told me the same thing. How do I get that file back. My son ran some spyware search program when I wasn't home and I think that deleted that file. Thanks.

Try going to system restore and set the calender back a day before you believe your son got to it this should help you in your situation To do a system restore, go to programs Then scroll up to accessories, then scroll down to system restore.
