Hey, My problem is with my laptop ( Fujitsu Siemens Amilo ). I had no problem with Vista at all, it was working perfect untill a few weeks ago. I was online for about an hour then all of a sudden everything started to go really slow then internet explorer stopped working. I thought it was to do with my internet connection but it couldn't have been because i am recieving wireless from my main computer and the internet is fine. I realised then that after re connecting my internet that i could only go on to MSN. Internet explorer and Mozilla firefox were not working at all. I haven't downloaded anything that could've made problems either. Anyway, since then, vista has been slowly messing up. First, it was saying i didn't shut it down properly when i did. Then i realised my wireless connection had been deleted and my recycle bin, paint and calculator got deleted. I know they're only little things, but surely it's not right for that to happen out of nowhere lol. I just turned on my laptop and it said it needed to do this fix thing so i let it run through hoping that everything would improve, but it hasn't. It now takes ages to load up and now i can only go on to Safe Mode. I really want to try and re install vista but i don't have the cd. I'm wondering if there's any way at all to re-install vista without the cd? Pleaseeee try to help me, i love my laptop lol xx -- jemmaevansx |

Even though you didn't download anything doesn't mean malware couldn't have gotten on the system. I would do a full scan with an Antivirus in safe mode. Avast is free and you can schedule a boot time scan. Try malwarebytes, Spybot SD, Superantispyware as well to see if the AV couldn't pick up anything. -- Airbot If I helped you then you can click on the scales arty: If you helped me then Thank You.

AV won't pick up malware at all, unless you have an edition that specifically includes Antimalware functions. Avast free does not. -- Asking a question?

I have Mc Afee, windows defender and i'm sure i had something else on there aswell. I scanned my laptop twice a week when i had it and it didn't pick anything up. I did a test on there the other day on one of the applications and it said my laptop score is 2.5 but is healthy. Could there be another solution? x -- jemmaevansx |

Viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, rootkits, etc. And yes, Avast has an antispyware module built in as well as being an AV and rootkit detector. Avast does pick up spyware, adware, etc. -- Airbot If I helped you then you can click on the scales arty: If you helped me then Thank You. Aaron |

Lol. I can't download it though because i can't go on the internet. It's completely messed up. I'm on safe mode now.. but it's not letting me click on anything at all. I restarted it and it's done the same thing. The only time the laptop is responsive now is it i press the F buttons on start up. x -- jemmaevansx |

Yes but i can't connect. I can't use any functions on my laptop because it's not working. I can only use the F buttons on startup to go in to the boot menu etc. x -- jemmaevansx |

If that doesn't work, you'd probably have to try a startup repair and you'd have to make a recovery disk. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66...and.html?ltr=S http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67...sk-chkdsk.html http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/19...ons.html?ltr=S http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/14...very-disc.html -- Airbot If I helped you then you can click on the scales arty: If you helped me then Thank You.
