Acquired malware which took over pc in a matter of minutes. Could not open browser, Add/Remove programs. Could not open cmd.exe or regedit.exe. All applications prompt for program to use to open.
Placed HDD as slave in another machine and cleaned malware. Re-installed as master…no luck. Same issue.
Attempted “upgrade”, but receive error that Cab files and .dll’s cannot be found on disk. Re-installed drive as slave and copied I386 folder to root of drive. Then after receiving error, I pointed install to folder on drive…still same error, “could not locate *.dll or *.cab. Now that installation has started, I cannot get past the installion screen.
I am guessing here, that “Recovery Console” may be my only answer, but am unfamiliar w/ this application and what files may be missing or corrupt on the HDD. Forgive me, for I am a HARDWARE technician and no not what I do! Thanx
