I've browsed the site and can't find anything that relates to me. I've tried a couple of things that seemed to be close to the same problem but not really. Needless to say, I'm at a standstill.
I'm now on my laptop with my desktop next to me. I can't do alot of things on here that I need to do on my desktop, so thanks in advance...
Here's some detail. After installing a clean Windows 7 to a brand new 500GB disk in the desktop I setup and worked for awhile on Windows 7 disk. Then, when I switched back to boot to the Raid XP Pro disk, it performed an automatic chkdsk. Uh Oh.
Then when I came back a bit after I saw that it was changing the security to default on every block or sector!
So, when I boot, it boots fine and everything seems to load, but if I look at the event log, I can't find what the properties of the error are. For instance the error for the IE or Firefox not worky is event 1500. Also in msconfig I can't get to system info (msinfo32.exe.
Some executables run and others don't?
More info that I forgot... My CD can read but not be written to. Network is also down as part of this problem. So you can see that I can't post results from the bad pc to here. Would a flash drive allow me to copy the files to be run to my desktop on the bad pc and then write back to the flash drive?
Here are partial results of the clean malware guide:
1. TFC ran OK. Cleaned about 112.
2. Can't create system restore point w/sysrestorepoint (box just sits there "creating restore point" or in safe mode with normal restore point. When I try to run the downloaded sysrestorepoint it states that it can't create an active x component.
3. ERUNT ok.
4. MBAM setup ran ok. MBAM doesn't run. Gives runtime error 372 (can't load vbalGrid from Vbalgrid6.ocx. May be outdated.
5. Root Repeal can run the scans individually only but can't write them to CD to xfr to here (laptop).
6. OTL --- Can't get the otl file to the desktop to create the txt files. Runs from a shortcut on desktop to CD but obviously doesn't create the txt files on the cd.
Thanks and waiting at this end.
