Here is the scenario:
Computer is 3 years old, has Windows XP operating system. Used to have
dial-up internet, switched to High-speed.
1-within 1 day of loading high-speed, computer was not working correctly.
2-realized that virus software was not working, purchased McAfee.
3-system still was not working, especially the high-speed connection.
4-obviously there was a "third-party" interference.
5-started in "safe-mode" to run the McAfee, high-speed worked ok, but could
not access the address bar.
6-instructed to update with Windows ServicePack 2 - downloaded in safe-mode
and installed
7-computer is slower than anything I have ever seen.
8-Re-ran the McAfee three more times, with no luck.
9-un-installed the WinSP2, and NOW my computer does not work AT ALL!!!!
I tried to "system restore" to back before all of the problems, but it will
not restore. Even tried 6 other days of restore, to no avail.
I can't even get to the McAfee software, or to windows help - nothing.
Even in safe-mode, nothing works now except the internet, and it won't even
let me re-install the WinSP2. Says it cannot display the screen that I'm
looking for.
Should I re-install the original Windows XP disc that came with my computer
purchase, and start over?
Note: I unplugged the internet during the safe-mode system restore tries,
but didn't help.
What is going on? Please help.
