wow, thanx a lot for some good ideas!
I’ll try to answer them as accurate as possible without being to long.
< First about the cd. I’m studying in France and I have little hope of finding a swedish cd here. The system seems a bit unstable as it is, so I’m not sure I wanna risk it in the hands of a froggy cd ;-). Anyone with experience from cds with different languages?
< Looking in the chest is a good idea! The problem is I can’t open Avast. It asks me for a registration key, but the one I signed up for doesn’t work. Although I only used Avast a few days, I’m not able to use the 60 days without registration??? I remember that feature worked before the virus was detected. Maybe I could backup the chest and reinstall Avast?
< Scanreg /fix says the registry is corrupt and won’t fix it.
< Scanreg /restore says the registry has been succesfully restored, no matter which backup I choose, and I’m asked to reboot. The problems are still there though.
< The user.da* files aren’t there, because attrib -h -r -s or dir /ah can’t detect them in the windows folder (done it in boot dos). I found msdos.sys though (in c:, not in the windows directory).
< sfc seems to work (no error messages), but it didn’t fix the problem.
< I’m not quite sure how to extract the cabs files to some larger extent (I don’t know the folder of half of them). I don’t know how many there are supposed to be, but now there are about 50 of them. In particular _user1.cab and _system1.cab, but they are both corrupt! The rest works (except data1.cab).
< I tried a few register fix tools. But they ended up in error messages.
< Technical, no harm done! It’s been a busy day, so I maybe overreacted a bit as well. Thanks for the links and for the welcome!
Thanx again and don’t hesitate sending me more ideas or answer some of the questions above,
Dag
