Recommended Posts

ye the guides are gr8... but i think that my corrupt xp wont work even with that

check this out:

the W32.Pinfi virus infected my pc some time ago. with it spread completely around my computer messin up my apps. (thought i had) backed up my data, half-formatted my computer... then realised backup cd was faulty. cancelled the format

went to install xp in the dir C:\Windows2\ -- all apps now corrupt NAV messed up now im on Windows2 and its so slow i just want to cry....

in other words, the guides great... but does anyone hav a guide on how to de-corrupt windows? lol

Win32.pinfi Virus is a file infector. How your windows got corrupt I do not know. Follow those instructions on how to get rid of it. Unfortunately if your window's files are corrupt (which can be caused by many things including a virus) your best solution is to backup your Data, format your HD and reload Windows. No guide can help you correct corrupt files.

Your computer is in it's current state because of your latest actions of partial formatting ect... Until you do a complete format and reinstall windows properly nothing else will help you.

    • I really do like the design of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It is quite nice.

    • Ashes of the Singularity II announced promising even larger battles, new faction, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A sequel for the 2016-released Ashes of the Singularity has officially been confirmed, and the original developer and publisher duo, Oxide Games and Stardock Entertainment, are back for this release too. Check out the debut trailer above. Ashes of the Singularity II is under development with a significantly expanded team compared to the original, according to today's announcement. It will be adding in a range of fresh units and gameplay systems for real-time strategy fans to dive into. More options for strategic gameplay, more intricate base building, and better enemy AI are listed as features for the new game as well. "Ten years ago, we set a new, literal benchmark for RTS games with massive battles and groundbreaking technology," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Entertainment. "With Ashes of the Singularity II, we’re raising the bar even higher, delivering strategic gameplay depth that RTS fans have always dreamed of.” The storyline of Ashes of the Singularity II will take place in 2031, with a complete single-player campaign, as well as cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes, being confirmed as features today. Moreover, a third faction is joining the fray this time, with Humans joining the fight alongside the original games' Post-Human Coalition and the Substrate. "Obviously, in the first game, the number one request was to have a human faction," adds Wardell. “Back then, we just couldn’t support having thousands of organic, walking, squishy people in the world and thus had to design in favor of machines. We’re really excited to bring the humans into the war and watch how they fare against the massive mechanical armies of the Substrate and PHC.” Ashes of the Singularity II is targeting a broad 2026 release window, with the team hoping to launch the title as the original celebrates its 10th anniversary. Its Steam store page is already up for wishlisting over here. Disclaimer: Neowin's relationship to Stardock
    • How exactly is a FREE image generation model a... Ponzi scheme?!?! I don't love all of these Gen-AI things flooding the market but there's nothing "ponzi" about it.
