Problem with operating system HELP!!!!
    #7853052 - 01/09/08 10:56 AM (16 years, 23 days ago)

OK, I run windows xp on a laptop, with AGV as my virus scan. This morning it found an infected file. It tole me t was a winreg file and if a get rid of it my system might not run. First i tried to ignore it, but the dialog kept coming on. So i decided to move the file to the vault, which reseted the computer, and now windows doesn't finish booting! I dont have a windows disk, am I fucked????? Any suggestions?
thanks

When starting up the computer, before the WINBLOWS XP screen shows up, press the F8 key a few times. I forget what this screen is called, but it will give you different boot options. Try the one that says soemthing like "Load windows with the last known working configuration". This might start windows, and restore the file on its own. If not, restart, do the F8 thing again, try to load up into safe mode, and then go to System restore, and restore it back to the closest point BEFORE the virus.

If none of this works, get a real operating system like Slackware, Ubuntu, etc.

Hope this helps.
