Vista missing alot of stuff
I have a hp laptop dv6871us and it had got the blue screen saying registory error or something like that. I went to safe mode to see if it would work and it did. After running programs like ccleaner and malwarebytes the blue screen didnt show up anymore. But the problem is, that alot of thing are all messed up now. For example, the brightness wont go up or down, i'm missing the battery icon (on the device manager it has that little excalmation mark next to it), when i turn on laptop the mouse (not the touchpad) wont work after a couple of minutes, which never use to happen like this. it also wont open some programs like google chrome. I have windows 7 installed also and when i boot into that one, everything works perfectly... -- vista23 |

The malware you had (and based on what you wrote, possibly the work you did removing it) has badly damaged the system. Best to just start over because untangling the errors will be difficult if not impossible. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

Ok i think the registry is messed up. Is there a way i could fix that??? I used drivermax to copy all drivers from windows 7 to vista but it remained the same so im guessing its the registry. -- vista23 |
