Let’s see if restoring the system to an earlier state helps. • Log on to Windows as an administrator.
• Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and then click System Restore.
• On the “Welcome to System Restore” page, click to select the Restore my computer to an earlier time option, and then click Next.
• On the “Select a Restore Point" page, click the most recent system restore point when you believe your system was working OK and then click Next. Note A System Restore message may appear that lists configuration changes that System Restore will make. Click OK.
• On the “Confirm Restore Point Selection” page, click Next. System Restore restores the previous Windows XP configuration, and then restarts the computer.
• Log on to the computer as an Administrator. Then click OK on the System Restore “Restoration Complete” page.
If this allows you to start your computer normally, please run the following tools by following the instructions below.
NOTE: If you are still unable to run them in normal mode, try running them in safe mode.
OTL Custom Scan
Download OTL to your Desktop
Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
Click on Minimal Output at the top
Download the following file scan.txt to your Desktop. Click here to download it. You may need to right click on it and select "Save"
Double click inside the Custom Scan box at the bottom
A window will appear saying "Click OK to load a custom scan from a file or Cancel to cancel"
Click the OK button and navigate to the file scan.txt which we just saved to your desktop
Select scan.txt and click Open. Writing will now appear under the Custom Scan box
Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan won’t take long.
When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time and post them in your topic.
