I've never heard of this, or Windows 7 itself with an expired warranty. I think the warranty on your computer itself expired and the hardware itself is going tits up. Sounds like they were just trying to get more money out of you.




Same, never heard of it. Look, microsoft tech support doesn't know shit. I'm sorry, but there's no polite way to point that out. I always get shit like "I'm sorry sir, but the serial number you read to me is not a valid serial number", when I read what the sticker says correctly. Or they might say I need to buy a new copy. It's BS, it's not how computers work.

After that encounter, I would run [url=http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/combofix[/url] That's usually the first thing I do when repairing a potentially infected computer. Formatting is always the last ditch effort, because it takes time and things may go wrong.

What exactly is the problem here? Please give operating system, and any symptoms like problems booting up, or an error code.
