After reading George Ou’s June article on Degunking a computer, I performed the Autorun with Microsoft’s Autorun software. My XP sp2 PC disabled my cd-rom. When I tried to restart in safe mode, when I hit the f8, it disabled my keyboard. When I restarted, after unplugging and replugging in my keyboard, I attempted a System Restore. I got the message “System Restore is unable to protect your computer, restart your computer and try system restore again”. When I followed those directions, the taskbar disappeared completely.
When I tried to reboot my computer off my XP disk, the PC did not recognize my cd drive and when I hit f8, it disabled my keyboard again.
Any suggestions on how I can restore my system?
What’s the point of degunking if it’s going to disable my pc?
