Please help! - Did my whole OS get corrupted?
Hi,
This is my first post in the forums, so I apologize in advance if this is not the proper place for this question.
I booted up my Win 7 (32 bit) PC this morning and noticed that it was not connecting to my wireless network. I went to check the network settings in device manager and I got the message "The specified service does not exist as an installed service".
I can see the file devmgmt.msc in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, but when I run it from there I get the same message "The specified service does not exist as an installed service"
I am also seeing this same message when I insert my Windows 7 CD and try and re-run the setup.
Even if I try to run anything as an administrator, I get this message "The specified service does not exist as an installed service"
Any Ideas on what is going on? Is this some sort of Malware? Is there any way of recovering from this?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
