    Help!


    Hello,


    For the past couple months or so my computer (2003 Dell Optiplex 740) has been infected with an autorun virus. I did not know my computer was infected, until last month it suddenly blue screened and died. Upon rebooting my computer, I was met with stop errors and messages, things like "re-install system 32", stuff like that. I tried re-installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 with the disk I have, but that would not work. I would either have gotten to "Expanding Windows files...25%", and then stop and say "Windows cannot install required files", (even though this is the first time in a while that I put the CD into my PC), or it would fully expand files, reach installing updates, and suddenly say that Windows could not offline locale information. I am fully connected to the Internet, via a local broadband wire. I have tried many different ways to try to kick this bug and re-install my OS, but nothing worked. I tried using my spare Windows XP disk to format the drive, and then switch to my Windows 7 disk to try to clean install (the Windows 7 disk only installs once, then disk options are all greyed out). I have tried deleting the drive before installing Windows 7, and that did not work. I tried moving the 2 ram sticks from their black ports to their white ports and then installing, and that didn't work. I even tried manually removing the virus (that I think is causing all of this), manually using the Windows 7 disk's Command Prompt by using the attrib -r -a -s -h *.* method, but this also did not work. Finally, after days of headaches and failed re-installs, I decided to ask a community I think is experienced in solving these problems.


    If anyone has any solutions at all, that would be great!


    Thanks in advance!

    :)

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
