I have a problem, and I think I know what did it.
First things first, what I think got me here:
Me, being the cheap b@st@rd I am, I wanted 12 months free xbox live, so I downloaded an .exe and opened it. Obviously the programme didnt work. I am guessing it was this which gave my PC a virus - thats if it is a virus.
Whats happened to make me think i have a virus:
Right, well my PC has/had 2 partitions. 1 being vista premium and the other being the Windows 7 RC. I took space away from my vista partiton and added it to my windows 7 one. then I restarted to logged onto windows 7 and installed the driver for my network adaptor so I could go online.
Then I restarted again to go back to vista, but when I logged on, I got a blank screen and only had the mouse and the documents folder (Iv researched this (on a laptop) and seen how to get desktop back and a possible way to fix it, what striked me odd was the fact I couldnt find anyone else getting there documents folder showing up).
So I press ctrl + alt + del, to to task manager then file > new task. I type in 'EXPLORER' and of course that loads up.
Then I go to system restore (which was the way to fix it) and I find its been turned off (so all last restore points have been cleaned). Last time I was aware, it was turned on with a clean restore point. So now I cant restore.
What can/should I do?
Iv since formatted the partition with windows 7 and merged it to my vista drive as im bored of it and my HDD isnt the biggest in the world.
Thanks,
Tim.
EDIT:
Although iv gotten rid of the windows 7 partition, when i start up my PC, it still says windows 7 as a possible OS to use. When I select it, it says something like error or there was a problem and that I need to insert the installation disc. And way I can remove the windows 7 option?
Also, I logged onto my mums account on here and she had the same problem on her account.
