[Re.TiReD]

[IbnAbdulHakim]

JazakAllah khayr, thats what I was looking for! But I cant do it, PC is being silly. Gah!

is it that bug where you try to press next to proceed to executing the system restore yet the machine gives you no responce?

if so you need to reinstall windows :uuh:

[Ali.]

I get start to work how?

The start menu in the bottom left of your screen..

[Re.TiReD]

Its the BuG where the start menu doesnt come up... :S

and every 2 minutes my screen vanishes and then comes back. I mean the desktop thingy not the actual PC btw

[Ali.]

Try restart comp', maybe?

I'm not sure. Good luck.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

try safe mode

if that dont work try running it via command

[Re.TiReD]

Wozzat tho?

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

If you do a system restore..it might hide the bug in the system..so before you do..follow these steps (they seem long, but all except the final scan will be completed in less than 15 minutes):

Make sure you run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware as stated in the directions, it usually cleans out most of the problems.

[Re.TiReD]

jzk, tiz not working.

Wassalam

[Cabdullahi]

What not working??

[The Ruler]

If nothing works, you can do a PC recovery.

[Re.TiReD]

Nothing be working cept tinternet

Cant do nuffin if nuffins workin

[Güven]

That means that there is only one thing left...

[Cabdullahi]

I think you need a full system scan it could be somesort of trojan playing about.........if you cannot do that then ive got a little trick do you know how to run your pc in safe mode?

I just asked for my account to be disabled lol so be quick plz :/ how u do it?

[The Ruler]

For PC recovery, when you restart your computer, all you have to do is press F10 (I think)... PC recovery sets your computer back to it's manufactured state. Except, I think, the files are kept safe. Well, they were the second time I ran PC recovery anyway.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

see this mission your going through


its just not worth it


go reinstall windows IMHO!


back up your stuff first if you want.

[Cabdullahi]

I just asked for my account to be disabled lol so be quick plz :/ how u do it?

.................................................. .................................................. ..................................
.....................sorry how long have you got............................................... ..............
....................................erm i hope im not wasting your time......................................:laugh: restart your pc and press either F2 or F8 it depends on your pc but what you want is a screen looking like this

click on safe mode and it should take yo to the administrator account and from there i wold suggest deleting all the garbage and necessary crap that on the pc and do a scan and clean up the disk

[Re.TiReD]

lol. Ok...Insha'Allah I'll see what happens when I do the F10 thing....knowing my luck the PC wont switch on again

[Cabdullahi]

F8 or F2

[The Ruler]

lol. Ok...Insha'Allah I'll see what happens when I do the F10 thing....knowing my luck the PC wont switch on again

That's a last resort. But seeing as you're offline, saying that isn't going to help anything. Haha~

[Re.TiReD]

Yah I tried but safe mode wasnt an option.

Blah.

Tag ima flush ur souvenier down the loo <_<

[Cabdullahi]

''safe mode wasnt an option'' excuse me??

[The Ruler]

Tag ima flush ur souvenier down the loo <_<

Oh, you got me one? Too bad I won't actually recieve it. Heh. ^_^

But like I said... If all else fails, go ahead with the PC recovery. But make sure that the PC owners know that you're doing it and what the results are going to be. Or, simply put, you'll feel worse that you feel right now. Because all the files might be lost altogether.

[Re.TiReD]

''safe mode wasnt an option'' excuse me??

No sir, it wasnt there. Really it wasnt. I tried all the options incase it might have been hiding but it wasnt

What options do you see at the bottom of the screen when it first lights up after you restart?

[Re.TiReD]

If you don't have any files of value, why not just format and reinstall from scratch?

Edit: I suppose you don't have the time right now. But perhaps in future.

I dont think I'll ever visit the US in future

What options do you see at the bottom of the screen when it first lights up after you restart?

Do I gotta go check? :><:

U know what, forget this, I'll just go have a fiddle about with things ;D

[The Ruler]

Do I gotta go check? :><:

Not really, I don't really care what happens to that PC.

U know what, forget this, I'll just go have a fiddle about with things ;D

That's more like it. You're awesome.

[Re.TiReD]

Erm. Okaay. :><: Ohh, I get it. You're in US now? I thought you were leaving for there now. :><:

Lol, huh? I cant leave the PC like this for several years can I? I leave for the airport in a few hours insha'Allah. I mean I'm going back home.

I think paltalk messed it up. I downloaded it for farhat hashmi's class coz they wanted it and thats all I can think of that cudda messed it up.

[Re.TiReD]

You should care, my cousin wont be able to play rumble fighter anymore

[The Ruler]

You should care, my cousin wont be able to play rumble fighter anymore

And that's a good thing. Not that I give a stand of hair.

[Re.TiReD]

OK, I've had enough of this stoopid PC. I'll make du'aa for it instead when I'm safely at home away from my cousin and his violent disposition ;D

[Yanal]

Why are you laughing? Everyone has problems with computers at one time of their lives.

I was laughing at my quest for a little humour, Sorry if the humour was not appropriate.

[Yanal]

Nah I was just curious and reminding you.
