I have Win xp. I have backed up everything on an external drive. I am
trying
to restore everything now. Before I backed up everything, my registry was
infected with mallware. My printer would freeze, among other things, I was
not allowed to rid my computer of the Mallware using RegistryFix or any
other
antivirus software. How can I safely restore all of my files on from the
external hard drive without reinfecting a clean install? Also, what do I
have
to reinstall in addition to everything on the external hard drive?
I'm not at all clear on what you did. Did you clean reinstall Windows?
You say you backed up "everything," but exactly what does "everything"
encompass? Data? Programs? What program did you back it up with?
If you did a clean reinstallation of Windows, you can restore your data, but
if you also backed up programs, those backed-up programs are useless. You
can't restore them, but have to reinstall them from the original media.
