    I downloaded a third party app on my Windows 7 as I was trying to figure out how to remove songs from a cd, and the app said it needed to restart my laptop for it's function to work.I, very very stupidly, allowed this to happen and now my computer will do nothing but show a box that says 'Boot Menu' with a few options that do nothing at all. I have turned my computer on and off multiple times, I have pressed ctrl+alt+delete and it also does nothing, I've pressed esc and it does nothing. I think it may be beyond recovery but it's worth an ask. I need my laptop!!!!!! This was an extremely stupid

    :)

    Hacked computer

    My computer was hacked and I lost my admin rights. I tried doing a recovery, but that failed. Incomplete. Can't get to lock screen anymore

    Any suggestions?

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond My computer has been completely locked and probably hacked :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
