gryphon Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Did you have any luck with the things we discussed over IM sofar ?
Terror Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 well, for one... your comp is seriously fucked up.This illegal operation might indeed be a virus, even though the scan doesn't detect it, but then a again, virus scanners only detect 50% of the virusses. While you were using your computer it infected more and more programs, programs that you used. This eventually results in that your comp get's more and more fucked up. At this stage there is only one possible solution, format the Hard drive, perhaps copy some important files like text files, and perhaps save games on a cd and format your entire HD. I COULD be wrong, but the errors that you are getting, and the increasing amount of problems on your comp only give me one true option. I'm for 80% sure your comp is infected by a virus and your virusscan doesn't detect it. the virus has spread so far now, it's like cancer. It's impossible to sort out files that may be infected, too many have been infected now.
Andrew Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 My solution would be to format your computer. It solves almost everything I can think of. If possible back up anything you want to.
gryphon Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Just as a comment, Lowzeewee mentioned in an IM that all of the regestry key's visible with regcleaner had been deleted. That would explain a lot of the things that have got wrong sinds then. ..
Andrew Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Yah thats very true, although it shouldnt screw up windows too much. Thats why you shoudl regularly backup registry when you are about to install/delete stuff.
lowzeewee Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 I couldnt open my files because my cousin cleared EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT in my registry using regcleaner.Thats y i cant open the fucking stuff.........I shouldnt have done all those hot bitchy stuff.....I m fucking doomed now...this isnt my computer,its my dad's company laptop :OOh No!
IxianMace Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Your cousin cleared EVERY entry in the Registry using RegCleaner?!?! :O I'm surprised your computer is still working. :O NONE of the programs that alter the registry when they are installed will work now, or they will behave abnormally, or have their settings reset to the default parameters. From my point of view, if you do not have any backups of your important data, then you've lost your data. I personally would NOT backup anything from the hard drive, since if it is indeed a viral infection and you have no way of knowing which file(s) are infected, then you may accidentally transfer the virus to your backup, and then to your clean re-installation of your operating system. Format your hard drive, clean up EVERYTHING, then start from scratch. This time, make sure your cousin can't access your computer easily.
lowzeewee Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 Will 256k cable work after i format my HD?
IxianMace Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 That depends on if your ISP requires you to install some software that will enable your connection to work. If you're talking about a cable modem, then you may need to install some drivers for it to work after you've formatted your HD, however I've never used a cable modem before and don't know much about it, so this would just be a guess. :-
