Hi,

Only to warning you, OTL will not cure your problem because this tool will only generate a log with some informations of your computer.

Do you had problems to generate the log? If yes, in what stage OTL failed?

# Step 1 #

• Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from here.
• It is important that is saved to your desktop.
• Double click on RSIT.exe to run RSIT.
• Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
• Once it has finished, two logs will open. Please post the contents of both log.txt (<<will be maximized) and info.txt (<<will be minimized)

# Step 2 #

Download aswMBR.exe ( 4.8mb ) to your desktop.

Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it Click the "Scan" button to start scan



On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply
