I recently got some malware and spyware on my comp, so i followed a similiar thread to remove it in safemode and then restarted my comp to find windows wouldn't load as a file was missing, so i repaired windows, but now i'm having problems, my graphics card isn't showing up (tryed re-installing but drivers say its not there) and various games won't start...i'm sure these are hints to a more serious problems, I know i'll probably have to post a diagnostic or something, so if anyone could do a step by step to get me started it would be appreciated. |

Without knowing exactly what malware you had and what you did, it's impossible to give you focused help. If everything worked perfectly before you did whatever you did, then it is unlikely that you have hardware failure. Of course, there is always the chance that you do have hardware failure and it was coincidental with what you did OR you had pre-existing hardware problems and your original issues weren't with malware at all (or only). Unfortunately, there's no way for us to tell. It is completely possible for viruses and malware to destroy enough necessary operating system files to require a clean install. If you did an actual Repair Install and that didn't help, then back up your data and do a Clean Install. Don't connect to the Internet without having the SP2 firewall active. If you are still having problems as you described after the Clean Install, then you know you have hardware issues. http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm - Repair Install How-To http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html - Clean Install How-To http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#reinstall_Windows - What you will need on-hand http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Troubleshooting Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

Think i'd found the problem, during windows repair i get the message 'Can not find file VIAAGP1.SYS on VIA AGP Filter driver disk' i can't find this on any of my disks that came with comp and as i run graphics card off agp1 i think that must be it, any ideas? Also after logging in after repair i got 2 NO DISK messages > IMJPMJG.EXE NO DISK > please insert a disk into drive\device\harddisk1\dr12 CiceroUIWndframe:jpager.exe> please insert a disk into drive\device\hardisk2\DR18 Any help is appreciated |
