My PC continually starts to the Windows XPPro screen and then reboots. I am certain it is Windows Restore because it appeared on my screen, and I activated it before I realised what I had done.

I have downloaded OTLPEStd.exe and reached the stage where a REATOGO-X-PE desktop has appeared on my bad PC.

I am way out of my depth here, although I can follow instructions.

But I am at a complete loss on how to Find, Copy, and Paste the long list of .dll, sys and other files to my Flash drive to get them to the bad PC.

I cannot find them in C:\ of the good PC.

Thank you.

  • Kindly follow my instructions in the order posted. Order is crucial in cleaning process.

  • Ensure the box "Automatically Load All Remaining Users" is checked and press OK
  • OTL should now start.
  • Press Run Scan to start the scan.
  • When finished, the file will be saved in drive C:\\OTL.txt
  • Copy this file to your USB drive if you do not have internet connection on this system.
  • Right click the file and select send to : select the USB drive.
