My computer has so many problems and ive looked around on the internet and ive managed to fix some of them.
I know that i have a few viruses on my computer, but i cant get rid of them, in one case i think i have one on my ipod “boot.exe” and i cant get rid of it. All of the antivirus programs ive tried either dont pick it up or cant scan my ipod.
Den i have “copy.exe” which i dont know how to fix either.
Task manager and regedit were disabled, but i fixed that, but i still dont have the start>run option and my windows xp skin has disappeared and has opted for the outdated 95/98 skin.
My folder options is also disbled, and i tried a reg fix which i found on the internet but it doesnt work!
My other computer had the same symptoms, except i also had a problem with the process “lsass.exe” and i nothing was fixed. I tried a few antiviruses here too, but they would get rid of the virus, but it would immediately come back.
Den after a while, my computer would boot up and would get to the “logon on screen”, but it was all black and all i could see was my mouse and my keyboard didnt do anything. This was the case in safe mode too.
So i managed to reinstall windows XP pro by hooking my hard drive up to another computer, since my disc drives had a problem reading the boot CS, and it started working…
So i shut down, put the hard drive back on the other computer and now when it gets to the boot screen, it jus restarts. I tried to hook it up to the other computer i used to install windows XP and the same thing happens. I also tried to install XP again, but the when i use the boot CD it wont read my hard drive. And i have a lot of valuable information on that hard drive so formatting is not an option.
I think i might have a problem with the booting sequence, cause i had a program called Boot Skin which changes the picture on the boot screen, but i dont know how to get rid of it.
I also suspect i got the virus from my friend when i gave him my ipod, cause i dont have internet on either of these computers.
PLEASE HELP ME! I havent used my computer for almost a month and i need it for school and what not. Thanks in advance.
