I thought I had ample,recent SystemCheckPoints, RegRestorePoints and VeryNiceLogs that not much could go wrong.

The TaskBar is either hidden or I just can't cursor low enough to reach it. Also, I think half of my computer is missing. Services, dependencies, drivers, utilities such as copy-paste, everything to do with networking.

HP Pavilion zv6130
Windows XP home

I have a SysInternals-AutoRuns before and after .arn files which I can read but not copy or move or WinDiff.
Check boxes in various auto start, auto run, Regmon, Procmon or other places don't do anything.

As a learning experience I think I'd like to UnDo ComboFix if anyone would like to walk through such a process. I'll be happy to pound the keys and post results or progress.

If such is not of interest I'll put in a new HDD and install Win7 Ultimate and retrieve the first drive by installing it in notebook expansion base.

A belated welcome to Geeks2Go Lawrence_0,

I have a SysInternals-AutoRuns before and after .arn files which I can read but not copy or move or WinDiff.
Check boxes in various auto start, auto run, Regmon, Procmon or other places don't do anything.


Using programs like those instead tend to complicate things, but I really can't tell by your post what all is wrong there. If you still need assistance, please do the following:


To make sure you have an accurate view of files there, make sure you can View Hidden Files. Also uncheck "Hide Extensions for Known File Types"



To keep them from interfering with the repairs, be sure to temporarily disable all antivirus/anti-spyware softwares while these steps are being completed. This can usually be done through right clicking the software's Taskbar icons, or accessing each software through Start - Programs. Here are some antivirus disable tips if needed.

-------

Click here and download OldTimer's OTL to your desktop, then click that to open the scan display. At the top click "Scan All Users", then click "Run Scan". Make no other changes at this time.

When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are also saved in the same location as OTL.exe. Post the contents of those back here please.

-----------

Click here and download the installer for Gmer to your desktop, then click that file to run Gmer.


Once the opening scan finishes, click on Scan (again, before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while this scan completes. Also do not use your computer during the scan).

When completed, click on the Copy button and rightclick on your Desktop, choose "New" > Text document. Once the file is created, open it and rightclick again and choose Paste. Copy the information and post it here please.

-----------

Download RogueKiller from here to your desktop.

Close all open programs
Remember to right click -> run as administrator, and click the downloaded file.
Wen RogueKiller finises it's opening scan, press the Scan button..
A RKreport.txt will be created in the same location as the RogueKiller file.
If the program is blocked, do not hesitate to try several times. If it really does not work (it could happen), rename it to winlogon.exe, and try again.

Please post the contents of the RKreport.txt.


A lot, but comprehensive, and will make sure we get a good view of everything.
