Hi and welcome to Geeks to Go!

For help removing a virus, you'll want to head to the Malware section of this forum.

Specifically, follow all the instructions in this link (click here).

Step 5 will explain how you post a log. Make sure you start a new topic in the Malware forum (click here).

One of our experts will review your log and help you clean your machine like new

Just beware the forum is very busy, please don't reply to your own thread as it will look like somebody is already helping you. If it is 3 days or longer with no reply, feel free to post a New Topic in the Waiting Room (click here).

Cheers

Troy

I seem to be able to reply to topics on these forums, but when I try to start a new thread to ask my computer question, the scale is impossibly large, and I can't find the text boxes. This only happens with new topics (specifically, in the Windows XP forum). I'd post a new topic on this, but I can't! Please help!
Thanks,
Lexa

Update: I was able to post with a well-timed application of my stop button in my web browser. The problem remains--I just figured out a rather tiresom way around it. Perhaps others are having this issue as well?

It says :
Sorry, you do not have permission to start a topic in this forum

Sounds like a glitch in the system, I will see if I can find an administrator to come by and check your setting.

systamatics,

Is this happening in every forum? When you say Desktop Hardware, I assume you mean here? We have a Hardware, Components, Peripherals forum, but we don't have one called Desktop Hardware. I see no reason why you can't start a new topic, assuming you're trying to start one in one of those forums.

I assumed he was requesting access to a topic in the Operating System forums.

Oh its working fine now
thanks everyone!
