yes, the virus is probably the cause

if you have a 'real' win xp install cd (not a recovery cd), you might consider picking up a new hard drive to temporarily replace your existing drive (bb has a 120gb on sale for $60). remove your old hard drive and replace it with the new one. do a fresh install of xp, install your AV software and get it up-to-date. then add your old hard drive, scan and clean it, and recover your data. after that repartition and reformat the old drive and use it as your d:.
try looking through the menus

If alot of HDD and RAM, then increase by alot. If little HDD and RAM, then increase by a little. Hope this helps.
