Greetings.
Before i get the old "You should search" thing that i would expect
let me just tell you, i have searched this forum, i have searched the internet, i have spent ALL morning trying to fix this problem. And ontop of that, ive had a REAL bad couple of days so please, please, i ask you, throw me a bone and help me out ;_;
Ive searched around, but the problems similar to mine have slightly different symptoms, and because there is a lot of stuff on the harddrive that i need to save, i decided i would at least make a post about it incase any of the solutions for similar problems would just make it worse.
Whats happened is i was trying to rid my computer of some spyware, and ended up using something called x-raypc. It deleted the first thing it told me was malware. Then boom, my PC restarted. It made me do a disk check, i let it continue all the way, then the screen went black and it rebooted again.
Ever since, when i turn it on, it goes past the bios part, then before i get any windows loading or startup screen, the screen goes black, and i get a mouse cursor. If i leave it for an hour or so, suddenly up pops the login screen, and i can login. But it takes another 30mins - 2 hours to load my user settings. Then when i finnaly get in, i cannot get into any folders or files, and the taskbar is just a grey line a few pixels high.
The system is windows XP pro, 1 gig of ram, dont really know the rest, some form of asus motherboard, and i think a gforce 5600fx graphics card. Not 100% sure on the card though, but its nvidia for sure. I think my HDDs are Maxtor too. I found in another post someone said they fixed a similar problem with something called PowerMax bootable.iso. Which ive downloaded, but as i said before, because my problem is slightly different, i dont want to make it worse. before getting some advice.
Im on my laptop now.
I would be so grateful for any help, i need it fixed by tuesday as im back at college and need it for college work ;_;
Cheers
Diablo
