Nothing Works-I've been at it for hours-Please Please Help

[XXXNoahXXX]

Ok, so I bought my parents a refurbed computer since theirs died. It's got Windows XP, but the bare minimum hardware to run it. All they use it for is e-mail, Amazon, Word.

Unfortunately, my little brother got at it, got god knows what viruses/spyware on it.

Here's where the big problem is.

Anytime I try to run a program (Spybot/Anti-virus/AdAware/etc.) it says something like "insufficient system resources."

When I Ctrl+alt+delete, Task Manager is blanked out. Even trying to run "Msconfig" on the command prompt, going into System settings or add/drop programs brings up the systems resources error message.


I don't have any system restore disks or anything.



I'd really appreciate any help, because e-mail is pretty much my only way of contacting them and their only computer access, etc.


Thanks in advance,

Noah
