Did a format and reinstall, now almost nothing works in windows
Right, so my mothers computer got a few trojans and a bunch of other stuff so i downloaded the windows 7 iso file from microsoft site, mounted it onto a USB, deleted the partition, formatted it and successfully installed windows 7 again. Or so i thought...
- The only thing on the desktop is the recycle bin. Not that it matters too much, she wasnt using all the BS programs that came with the computer
- All the icon sizes real big, like an old school safe mode desktop
- Most important so far: Cant connect to the internet. The computer cant detect the wireless router as it dont have the drivers installed.
Now the network of course works because im using it on my (Pardon my swahili right now) macbook.
Now im old school (tried to find DOS to format type old school) and maybe i should have gone with the "restore to previous computer settings" option, but the bank that detected the trojan said format everything so i did. This option cant be used anymore.
So i need a few pointers on what i did wrong and what i can do to fix things. Obviously i dont have the installation DVD or else i wouldnt have gone the USB route.
EDIT: its a Packard Bell Laptop if it matters
