Registry Erased
Help, I downloaded a registry cleaner only instead it wiped out my whole registry. I think it was a rogue. Anyhow when I start up my Windows 7 I can log in to my desktop but nothing works. All the shortcuts look like blank file icons, as well with all the shortcuts in the taskbar. Even when I click on Control Panel, or my computer I get this message, "File is not recognized would you like windows to remove this" something like that. I tried using recovery windows by pressing F11, I tried the windows automatic repair twice, it didn't work, I went to use a system restore point, but I never had set one. Is there any way I can get my pc with all the files it had hopefully on it? I have the windows installation disc, which I burned that I downloaded off of the MicroSoft RiverDigital website. Can I possibly use? Please help anyone. Also, I went to the official microsoft website but I can't access their support because you need the 20 digit authentication #, and the only way you can get that is if through control panel. But I can't because of my situation, but I have my Order#,Custom#, and product key. What are my options should I take it to a PC shop to get it fixed.
