Re: Help Please! I My computer is screwed!

Well, I tried registry restores and that didn't work. I did fixboot
and fixmbr in repair mode and that didn't work either. So I decided I
had to reinstall the OS. This worked, so my hard drives are fine, just
a corrupt OS.

Luckily when I first installed the OS I had created a 10GB partition
just for the OS. So I just lost some bookmarks, need to reinstall some
programs, stuff like that. All my data is intact thankfully. Thanks
for your suggestions.

Cheers,
Julian

Thanks guys, I will try those ideas out when I'm in a patient mood.
lol

I'll just take a break from it for now. I thought System Restore
restored a previous registry? From now on I will always save my
registry even though it's a nuissance...

Cheers,
Julian

My computer was fine until today. This is what I did:

First I ran EasyCleaner registry cleaner. I then ran spybot, found
some things that had to be removed and did that. I also ran Diskeeper
Defragmenter right after I did that. Then when I went to open Winamp
my computer started lagging. I closed all applications and tried
opening My Computer, same thing, really bad wait time.

So I did a SYSTEM RESTORE to Oct 31, no improvement. I then tried
uninstalling DISKEEPER and running the default disk defragmenter that
comes with XP, no improvement.

I then shut down, connected my WD RAPTOR that I use for storage because
it's so noisy, and then tried to access it in SAFE MODE. It was slow
too and I don't know if it's because of a problem with corrupted files
or the Samsung Raid Drives that the OS is installed on. I think maybe
one of the SAMSUNGS began to fail after the defrag session, but I'm
just guessing.

Can someone help me out please? I can't figure this out.


registry cleaners and spyware cleaners usually keep a backup of what they
clean. I would tell them to reinstall the backups just to see if it helps.
