MY computer took a nose dive this morning. I tried fixing it but I cant find my XP install disc so I am screwed for the moment. I had to upload REDhat to an old 40 gig I had lying around just to get on tonight.



Anyone ever encountered a spyware/virus that would casue the system to shuut down automatically after loggin into windows and then keep restarting itself.



Any suggestions aside from tryin run the install disc and hope the update corrects the problem?



I need MAC!!

 

Does xp have a safe mode? IF so go into their and run adaware and search and destroy and some antivirus and see if it'll work.

 

Yes IT does, thanks for the suggestion. I will give that a shot aftre I contact everyone buying parts off me and inform them of my delemia.

if nothing else you can do a nondestructive repair with XP. i can walk you thru it... its very easy

 

that should do the trick, but you can always install WinXP to another directory and get your files if all else fails, you can have one of my XP disks if you just need to get your data off, it'll work long enough before you have to activate it to get your stuff

 

Hey hows it going. I work for att and we got flooded with calls with ppl who have the same ******* problem.its a flaw in the xp and nt os.There is a patch out right now,have to download the windows secuirty and updates,check it out on there page .I provide tech support for att worldnet and we had to refer everyone to microsoft to fix the issue because there not able to login to ie long enough to d/l the patch.If you call ms its a $35 charge.
