  • Thank you so much man, i was trying so hard to turn this piece of shit computer to a super computer and i couldnt figure out how to do it, i cant thank enough. And P.S. i love the song you put on there.

  • @SmokyMcPot1010 Hey, no problem, doing my bit for the community! ;) lol. Hows the super computer going?

  • i had the same problem but i found a different way t fix it

    Okay so what you need to do is press the power button on the computer. when your turning it back on BE SURE to run it in safe mode. then go to the start menu> control panel > system & security > backup & restore, then click "recover system settings or your computer" and hit the button that says "open system restore". make sure you select a date that is BEFORE the time that you installed the virus, and then when you restore, its fixed

  • @ZacharyHere you can do it that way but if they have system restore turned off (like me) then they cant go back. some usually turn it off because system restore uses alot of space.

  • how do i run misconfig and how do i go to start up

  • @xXTryanTXx if your using vista or windows 7, go the the little star orb thing at the bottom left (start) then type in msconfig and press enter. If you have xp just go to run and type msconfig there.

see all
