That sounds like something a virus or a trojan could do.. U should scan ur comp with an antivirus software and also with some ad-/spyware software like ad-aware or search & destroy's spybot before formatting.

There are online virus scans which should still work.

yes you have a virus , it renames all your system and files and your kernal32 is trying to locate them, and of course your pc is trying to find winamp on start up, i suggest u run NERO or a CDR Program from DOS / WIN and burn everything you have , im not sure what the virus is called but i knew someone who had it,
