I saw someone else had a similar problem but I think your advice is to post a new topic.
This is a Dell PC with no Windows CD. I have always relied on the "restore" function, but now if I run it it runs and then finishes with a message like "restore was not possible".
I am the only user and at home, but it is for my work so I need it to run OK. I have no computer training.
(NB: I am a Brit working in France on a French version of XP Home, so in some cases I am (mis-) translating the messages etc. I failed to find a French-language forum offering a solution. Btw I was in contact with the Theeldergeek forum and now strangely I cannot open it at all, direct or via Google.)
In addition to this, more and more functions are giving a message like "not available -restrictions by Manager" (in my French version "Administrateur"). Including : "configure default programs". Or running regedit..
Even things like: Rclick on desktop – properties – screen etc" or (since yesterday) "Control -Alt-Delete" give a message "This function has been deactivated by the Administrator" or "Task Manager deactivated by Administrator"
I have followed the initial stages given in the GeekToGo advice (ATF cleaner – AVGAS – SuperAntiSpyware –AVG Free - Panda). I have kept the reports/logs, except for AVGas in which I got a message "No reports available, although it found 14 items of malware including 3 of High risk (sorry I did not note them). I will paste the Hijackthis.log below.
I tried Windows Update for Service Pack 1a but could not get a download link anywhere.
Grateful for any help.
