Start up Problems and sys restore

[dznefreek]

My Windows 7 is stuck at "Please Wait" for about 10 mins. at start up. Then I get the account picture frame (enlarged) which is blank and it is asking for user/password and says no domain found when I enter anything.

This all started after my son downloaded a virus that kept me from going to Win Update so I decided to reinstall 7 (which I have done b4 with no problem) but this time says "required driver could not be installed, installation terminated." I removed the disk restarted the machine, got another message saying a file was missing and this began.

Also I cannot access Sys restore at startup, safe mode leads me to the same scenario.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you'll need to wipe the HD of all infected code before reinstalling: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/91339-ssd-hdd-optimize-windows-reinstallation.html

Remove the data to quarantined DVD or external, then scan the data and install DVD first on an uninfected computer with Malwarebytes and your AV.
