Hello, I am a new member here, and i have run into a mess of problems.
Normally, i am able to fix these myself, but it's starting to get really bad, more than what I can handle.
I was installing Windows Service Pack 3 to my computer, and when it got to about 90% completion, the setup shut off. I hadn't pressed the cancel button. when the setup had completely shut off, every single privelige i had was gone. i couldn't open anything. i restarted by computer, and the privelege problem was fixed But my internet was about 90% out. i could connect to the internet with 3 programs. Steam,Xfire, Skype. all of my browsers were useless, along with any other program that could connect to the itnernet besides the 3 listed above. another thing it caused is that all of my Accessories programs are gone.(Paint, Search, Solitaire, etc.) i managed to replace paint with a friend's copy of the exe, but the rest are still gone.
A friend of mine suggested that i do a system restore from before i had installed SP3, and i agreed. It ran, and it didn't help. Steam had ceased fuctioning, along with anoher program, XFire. Normally, i could take the time to fix this myself, but I'm the team manager of a mod team, and Steam is the only way i can communicate with them, time is of the essence,
another person suggested that i run Recovery console with the commands:
fixmbr :c/
chkdsk /f /r
Recover console will not open, and it does not show up in the boot menu.
I need help fixing these,
I'll run whatever is needed to get the 4 things running again.
