I got busy last night and couldn't get to a computer.

Elljay said:

Yes Anak, as we speak.
When I pressed it, it is just making a loud beeping noise and shows F11...System Recovery on the left hand bottom of the screen.

Did it look like this:
Attachment 331661


Or did it look like a minimized title bar like this? Attachment 331662

Disregard the words I'm only using this as an example, yours would say system recovery where it says magnifier settings.

If it is, click on it to open and see if it looks like the upper attachment, if it does, click on system recovery at the bottom of the left panel to start the factory restore process.

But, you may want to go here and either read and or print the instructions before you start. From my #14 post:
You'll know your at the right place when you see this:

Recovery from the startup screen (during system boot)
If Windows 7 does not open correctly, perform the following steps to recover the computer:

Do or are you using another machine as you're working on this one?

Hi Anak. No it does not look like that.
I was under the impression that I could make a repair Disc from someone elses machine as long as it was either 64 bit or 32 bit.
So I made the disc using my brother-in-laws Acer win7 64bit Laptop.
It looks like this...

#1 I can run Startup Repair... but it eventually says it can't be fixed automatically.
#2 attachment, Recovery management is where the links do not work to do a Factory Restore.
#3 attachment shows I can open the command prompt...and it is blinking.
(maybe that doesn't mean anything.)

Yes, I am using another machine to communicate here. I have a little Acer Netbook.
Although it gets hard on my eyes, it is better than nothing.
It is beside my crashed HP.

OK. I will go and read the material you linked me to.
Thanks Anak. :)

Ok looks like you are getting somewhere the Ubuntu screen - I have got this post really late - looks fairly normal though I have never had that happen.

The Kaspersky should just run after getting you permission I have no idea what is going on there either.

Smacks of something wrong with the motherboard but I am just grabbing at straws here Anak's approach is what I would be going with:)

That's OK. No worries ICit2lol. I needed a rest from this anyways.
Been playing in the Chill Out Room.
Yes OK. I went to Kaspersky Forum and asked what's up with that.
I don't have response yet.
Yes, I think Anak's approach is less confusing for me at the moment. I still appreciate your help and thanks for your time. :)

ICit2lol said:

Yes mate that forum is very slow at responding I use it as last resort because it is so slow.

But keep plugging on eh?:)

PS take a look at these this is how it should go
How to record Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 to a CD/DVD and boot my computer from the disk? then read this
How to start scan for viruses using Kaspersky Rescue Disk?

Hi Icit2tol. I found this video on you tube a few days ago.
Very good video, especially for beginners.
The Author is really clear and concise.
Kaspersky Rescue Disk - Download - Burn - Scan - - YouTube

ICit2lol said:

Yes Eli it is probably better than us trying to explain it in a post:)

Yes, ICit2lol, it probably is.
It's nice when one comes across a good video too.

Icit2lol, do you know much about UBUNTU?
I see I can find quite a few things about my computer.
I can find my files too etc... and a lot of folders I have no idea what they are.
(PC terminology??)
Would I be able to set my computer back to Factory Condition with UBUNTU?
Is there somewhere I can reach COMMAND PROMPT?
I was searching for that last time I had the disc in.

If this doesn't work, we'll have to go with either a repair or clean install.
[/NOTE]
1. Open your command (CMD) prompt, type in mmc at the blinking cursor and touch the Enter key. You will probably see a User Account Control (UAC) box pop-up, click on yes, allow this program to make changes.

Hi Anak. I opened Command Prompt and typed in mmc.
It told me that 'mmc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
