Hey all, I'm hoping this is the correct forum section, it said 'support' so I just assumed it was best suited to the subject. I got a virus some time ago so that now everytime I log onto my computer windows explorer doesn't automatically load-up, it shows a black screen. I've come up with a temporary fix (well it is permanent but still annoying) I've made a batch file which loads windows explorer manually and put it in my startup folder (this only loads-up my documents so I've had to put a copy of the batch file into my documents to load it) also I believe this error started appearing at the same time I got the virus:
Also turning off my computer now takes a looooong time and I don't just mean in comparison to how it used to turn off pretty much instantly, now it takes a couple of minutes.
I just thought I might add that I was going to do a destructive restore but the way I was told to do this was by re-installing windows so I popped in the cd and typed the the cd key but for some reason this doesn't seem to even fit the format for a cd key for my OS..
