Windows 7 wont get past login screen
Hi nice to meet you all, but I'll cut to the chase as I've not got long left for lunch.
Windows 7 machine working fine from 20 april 2011 - 5 October 2012
I found an old cd and stuck it in the machine to see what was on it. Turns out a few scanned hi-res images and a fujiimage viewer.exe file. I thought i'd open the image viewer and see what it was. Double clicked and away we went. I moved the mouse to navigate to the start of the image viewer and the computer froze (blue circle thinking icon) I waited 5 mins and then ctrl + alt + del to get to task manager. Pulled that up - image viewer not responding - so attempted to close the program from task manager. Poof windows lost all my desktop icons and went to the loading screen background not my desk top background. I waited another 5 mins and then hit th re-start button.
So comp goes back to loadup - gets to the bit where windows is loading and the flag comes up all nice and shiny. Freezes. Reset. your computer falied to load. Options to check and repair or star windows normally. Start win normally, get to flag screen. freezes. back to your comp failed to load. go to repair. wait 1+ hours. windows cant repair. reboot. your comp failed to load (im getting sick of typing it let alone looking at the bloody thing). Start win safe mode. starts gets to log on. loads desktop. looks ok. restart. gets to logon. slowly ( i mean over 5 mins to get to desktop). gets to desktop. hit Ie falis to load. firefox fails to load. desktop greys out. try to shut down. takes 2 mins to get past logging off sign. then hangs on win shutting down sign. I reset again
I knew bios battery was on it's way out so I changed that, also f8 at startup and chose load from last known good configuration. over 40 mins to get to desk top. after 2 mins of trying to click on the desktop icons greys out. cant pull up task manager.
I think and call me a bit weird it's probably to do with the fuji software. please forgive my sarcasm this is driving me crazy and I'm not computer savvy enough to fix it.
I doubt anyone will be able to pin point the problem exactly but I have the feeling that the startup code's been corrupted. Can I re-store this with a win7 disk or will I have to re-format? I've not setup a sys restore point either (i know dumb ass).
Any help, insight, or tranquilisers would be a bonus.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Dis!
