Cannot repair/restore OS
Last answer on Apr 13, 2009 3:48:49 am BST technoinept, on Apr 13, 2009 1:12:50 am BSTHello,
I have an HP Pavilion notebook with Windows XP.
Unfortunately, my laptop was infected with a virus or something problematic. I tried using System Restore to see if it would help any, but I could not advance far enough to accomplish anything. (Clicking 'next' did nothing).
I downloaded an antivirus, and it deleted the infected files. However, now I cannot log into my laptop. After entering my password, I am almost immediately logged off. Even when I use safe mode, the same thing happens. I have tried booting from a disc, but my laptop turns itself off before it can repair or reinstall the operating system.
I am not very good with computers, and I am not sure what to do now.
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 8.0
