truefusion 3 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Wow, looks like you have a major problem on your hands. Just what did you do for this to happen? Not sure if a system restore would help, but you may want to try that. Or if you have a rescue disk, maybe? Or just plain old reformatting, if need be.

xJedix 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 If it is as bad as it sounds, your best suggestion is to just re-format your hdd. In my opinion it would take way to long and be not worth it to try getting all of the dll's off the internet.If you need any help re-formating, just ask... But it sounds like you will just take it in and have someone do it. If you got another computer at your house, it would be easy to save your files to that computer so that you don't lose anything when you re-format your hdd. Another thing is if you do have another computer at your house and it is on a network, then you might want to check that computer for the same viruses to make sure that one didn't get affected by yours.just a bit of info to help :huh:xJedix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rvalkass 5 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 OK, just take a few simple steps and answer these questions and we will all be slightly wiser and more able to help.First, when you push the power button does your PC actually power up, e.g. the fans come on, the light on the front etc?If it does power up, do you hear any beeps? If so, how many?If it doesn't power up, check a fuse hasn't blown and simple things like that. You could have also killed the PSU.The last time you used the PC before it failed to work, did you do anything different, install anything or anything like that?Answering Frederick's questions will also be a great help to us all.

LeAnn Rimes My Angel 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 It sounds like you have a big problem. You should try scanning it with Mcaffee virus protection, and if possible, try installing another hard drive in the meantime to see if that is the only problem you have with your computer.As well, I suggest setting up your computer so that only the bare necessities are included, and troubleshoot your computer to see what else may be wrong with it. Eventually, everything brakes down as we all know, and your computer is only as good as your weakest component.Good luck buddy, sorry I can't be of much help to you.

How do i sweep everthing away!?!? 196258[/snapback] (IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT WINDOWS)If your talking about reformating.. Reformating=Cleaning Every File off your Drive 1. First put in your window's installation disk, or w/e u have.  2. Next, click reformat, or clean.  3. Next, click on whatever hard drive your using.  4. Wait till its done reformatting.  5. Then click "INSTALL" -----*NOTE*----- There is a possibility to save your stuff. 1. Put in your installation disk  2. Click reinstall  3. If your lucky, it might just add in the missing dll's and repair the registry, if thats what u think you wanna do, then try it out, but u should try this first b4 you reformat, this is kinda a last resort i hope this helped.

amhso 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 if windows, get linux. or just reformat. also, when you first got windows you should have made backup/rescue disks, jsut put those in and load. But an actual complete clean of your harddrive, will fix any problem if you still have the windows install disks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unregistered 015 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Im not talking about restarting the computer =\??? im talking about rebooting it when you press F11 when you start the computer. How do i sweep everthing away!?!?What are you talking about? F11 is in many browsers (you are using one to read this) for full screen. There is no option (during or after the boot) that you can do somthing like that with F11 (at least not in WINDOWS)?F8 if pressed during booting process brings up startup options where you can choose which operating system to start and in which mode. Other useful keys are Del (or sometimes, depending on mb F1) for BIOS.If you think you have viruses, then reinstaling windows (if it is windows) wont help you a lot, since you'll still have them. Reformaiting your hard drive is the best solution (asuming that you dont have any important data on that disk). If you plan on formating and want to save data (on cds or whereever) remember to rescan those after reinstall.JMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TiKiRoKhaN 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 If he's talking about removing the virus's, u need a anti-virus disk. But from what I hear, you cant "Sweep" the virus's off now if they have done that much dmg, The best bet is u have rescue disk or just reformat. IF i were you, i'd save the hassle, and just reformat, cause from what i hear. your in deep trouble. If you reformat, everything will be gone including the virus's! Follow my instructions above.. If you want to rescue, insert the disk and click copy, but you will still have the virus's.. If you want to bring it into the shop, maybe they can save the data + repair it, but be careful what u put in there, if they break anything there not responsible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
