Answer» My computer seems to be messed up beyond repare. I've tried countless anti VIRUS anti spyware anti whatevers on it and it's still acting really bad. I don't even have control over what I can and can't do with it, it's terrible. Someone please just give me some kind of idea of what to do.What do you mean by bad? It laggs, it crashes or it plains just fails to load? Well if that all fails there are a few things you can do I don't even have control over what I can and can't do with it Give us some examples. Was there a definite point in time when this started happening, perhaps after installing a program or downloading a file, or an update? What are your system specs, most importantly your operating system (Windows XP, 2000, 98, etc.). Quote Most of my programs just completely fail to load. What happens? You must be getting error messages...what do they say? Are there any programs at all that work? Quote Do you know of a way to back all my music up before I system restore? If you can't burn them to CD, you'll need an external hard drive or flash drive. But that may not be necessary if we FIND you do not need to do a system restore. Give us the details. Quote ... My CD's were recently stolen and I had all of them backed up on my computer in windows media format. My burner is basically useless. My main concern is actually my music so I don't want to have to system restore. Do you know of a way to back all my music up before I system restore? A few things you might try: * Connect your computer to another computer and use the network setup wizard to create a direct cable connection, then copy the files to the other computer. * Set up a free account with My Yahoo! or G-Mail or some other service and upload all your music files to the website. * Install a new CD burning program (or reinstall an old one) and burn the music to the CD. * ADD a second hard drive in your computer and copy all your music files to it. Before you reinstall the operating system, please tell us: Do you think it may be a virus or a mechanical problem with your hard drive, or some other reason that is the cause of your problems? Doc It started about a good 4 months ago. I just got a cable modem connected so I think it may have something to do with it. I have a fairly new emachines machine with a 2.5 mhz processer. Running the Windows XP home. I get a lot of '... has encountered an unexpected error' messages. A get a lot of pop ups and my internet explorer home page is always set to some advertiser's search engine. That means your computer got attack by... spyware /adware.... better get it fix. Get the most popular program adaware (find it at download.com) its free! or spybot search and destroy... for the errors im betting a registry scan and repair should get rid of most of them... By the way I advise you to update your virus scan or change it to avast antivirus its free and it picks up some, not alot but some adaware in real time!Use Error Nuker for searching and fixing registry problems at http://www.errornuker.com and scan, then window direct you to installation packet and this packet to downloading.Download it and fix problems. sn:W7W963F4662E-25796XE8996R-3439W3E3976R it's good.I would do a clean re-install when you can replace the disks (from eMachines?) and use AVG Free Home Edition anti-virus and scan with SpyBot SD and AdAware SE against Trojans. I also use SpywareBlaster to guard against all of this cheap unprofessional crap on the internet.a little advice about ad aware se, recently i have had some problems with it, it works fine and is good at dtecting problems, but if u have norton antivirus installed, it might not be a good idea to get it because it reacts with norton giving u various problems...
