This does sound fatal.

All you can do is get everything off it you can, i normally do this by using a bootable cd rom such as Barts PE.....this is a safe way to get the stuff off onto a memory card or cd but beware or transferring the virus too!

UBCD for Windows is also good.

But this is VERY techie......

Anyway, good luck.

Fatal indeed algy...well im back in business so tyvm for all your advice/replies guys but none of them worked..tried the repair option one last time and still nothing.

So i did the honourable thing and put it out its misery but i managed to get all the stuff i wanted to keep onto my media centre/external HD..all the important stuff like my fruity folder and the 20 odd GB worth of pron .

Still never got to find out what the virus was or where it came from or where it was hiding..(everywhere i presume) but TBH it was a pretty fookin good one..fooked ma PC up no end.

Just one other thing rather than start a new thread not a major hassle but im in the middle of putting all my programs back on and i went to update WMP to version 10 cos 11 blows..and i get this error message.

WTF ?? Ive had WMP 10 on this PC before..infact ive always used 10 but at the moment im stuck with 9..Any ideas ?

It's because you have a picture of ladyboys on your machine, Microsoft does a check prior to install...

But on a serious note.. You ain't trying to download the 64 bit version are you?? Have you installed the service packs first?

[todd1970]

No James not the 64bit edition and i have SP2 installed with all the windows critical updates etc installed..im at a loss as to why it wont install.

How did you know about my ladyboy pron ?
