Thread: Computer being Stupid

Sounds like a virus. Can you run your AV?

lol i cant even go into windows. but i have ran my anti virus programs lke 1 day ago and it didnt find anything.

Press F8 during start up this will take you into safe mode...if you can't get into safe mode re-format your pc (this isn't hard).

What version of Windows are u running? If u are using pre XP use connect a slave harddrive inside the computer then use a dos startup disk to enter dos so u can copy your important files to the slave harddrive, make sure u format the slave harddrive first!!! after you copy that stuff over format the Master Harddrive. When you reload windows just drag everything off of the second harddrive and put it on the first. I reccomend that u use windows 98 in the future if you aren't already. Since it is old, yet still useable. There aren't many viruses out there for that operating system anymore. Just a thought though, give it a shot and tell me how it goes.

ok umm well i turned off my computer for a night, and the next day i turned it on and it works and i already have my files backed up on the slave. My slave has 250GB and my main has 86GB. Thanks for suggestions

You need to get yours fixed or get a new one. Computers can be so slow it's just pathetic!

Id still look into what caused this. Maybe Len can help?
