system failure
I am running ME but aside from starting up and shutting
down I am able to do very little. I cannot run my anti virus as I suspected that may be the problem. I cannot access the internet. I am getting no error messages. HOwever I do get a program is not responding when I reboot the system. I was able to defrag the unit after about 8 attempts and it took about three hrs. I also tried to find system restore but was unable to as I am used to xp. also, I started the system several times in safe mode but was still unable to run norton anti virus. I have a second computer to work with if anyone can offer any assistance but it runs xp. Out of ideas please help! |

You may have a virus/spyware hijack download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling viruses are not present on your PC http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe - update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.
