Can not access the system restore.

After the removal of a virus, no visible icons on desktop except Mcafee on the toolbar at the bottom.  Was able to access the internet by clicking on Mcafee and then update.  When you click Start the only visible program is Mcafee.  Cannot see the control panel or Windows help/support or anything else.  "Run" is not available.

Someone suggested that if I run the system restore, it could solve the problem.  But the problem is that I can't access it in the usual way.

Hi Oishi Kuranosuke,

·         Are you able to access the system restore in safe mode?

·         You get the error message?

System Restore can bring back the virus.

    When I click on the system restore, nothing happens. It is not on my Add / Remove programs. What can I do to get it back? Thank you.

    Whenever my computer restarts itself, I get an error message saying that there is a faulty driver.

    I checked my drivers with the audit tool, nothing.

    I uninstalled all unnecessary programs I could find (nothing critical, just programs like Glary Utilities, Acrobat, Flash etc..).

    Eventually I got to a point where everything I did was to get worse, and my computer told me that Windows did not start upward.  I rebooted in safe mode and tried to do a system restore.  Cannot restore point to restore I get an error indicating that the system restore was not successful.  I tried FOUR different restore points.

    I'm at my wits end!

  • When a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet until the restart network card

    Hello! I found a problem with my system: when a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet, until restarted network card. Reinstall NIC driver did not help. Problem appears on a built-in adapter, in the motherboard and a separate PCI card too.  Same router via its web interface is not accessible. Windows cannot automatically fix this problem after trying to diagnose a problem with his problem Diagnostic tool. After the diagnosis in the DETAILS window, MORE tests, it displays a message like this "computer remote can not receive a connection via the Internet (HTTP) Service Port". "Unplugging" a corresponding Local network connection and then reconnect solves the problem immediately. Switching between users, when two of them are connected do not cause this problem. Important: the problem occurs in the account of the user who was logged on the system FIRST after the PC was on, when the user disconnected on newspapers of a SECOND. If the SECOND user is logged in and the FIRST user disconnects, SECOND can still access the internet. It depends only on the sequence of the user's record, not on the particular user name. And one more interesting fact: after each user registered on and outside just for once, the problem seems to disappear until the PC is turned off and turn it back on!

    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-VLK
    CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 K

    Hi, Mahesh,

    and thank you very much for your help! Update firmware driver and router LAN did not help me get rid of my problem, but greatly improved my experience of networking in general. Anti-virus software was not guilty, also, but! I found the "iControl" network software, installed as part of Sogiciel 'AI Suite II' (that came on the CD of motherboard ASUS driverssoftware), runnning and causing not only the problem mentioned above, but would also decrease upload speed up to 0.3 MB/s, when download passes to nearly 100 Mbps! Moreover, searching the Internet, I have found a lot of complaints about the behavior of this software, so that people watch you the occasional installation of this piece... sweet ;) As "iControl network" has been uninstalled (not only turned off in the settings of 'Ai Suite II'!), I'm totally happy with my system performance.

    Best regards

  • Satellite L350: Can not access the recovery partition by pressing 0

    Heya

    I can not access the recovery on a Toshiba L350 Manager. I tried pressing 0 (zero, two of them) at first to access HD-recovery, but nothing happens. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

    The reason why I want to access is:
    I have a l350 Toshiba with a partially installed windows here. For now, he gets the "starting Windows" and "instalation program's services began" (in Norwegian) which stops with a popupbox saying: "the computer unexpectedly inexplicable, or an unexpected error has occurred. The site amenities cannot procceed. To install Windows, you will need to click ok to restart the computer. Start the installation process. ».

    What started the problem was that during the last part of the installation (after Win7 becomes usable, but above all has been installed), escape was pressed, and the computer has been used normally.

    > I can not access the recovery on a Toshiba L350 Manager. I tried pressing 0 (zero, two of them) at first to access HD-recovery, but nothing happens. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

    I assume you are using a European model for laptop and so you should try it;
    -Press on F8 laptop computer power on.
    -Then choose fix my computer
    -Then Toshiba HDD Recovery.

    This should allow you to start the Toshiba HDD recovery process.
