  ·        What version of Windows is installed on your computer?

  Last question first: No.
   
  The rest - it looks like that you may be infested/infected with something.  We're going to clean up some things.  Follow this advice as given, do not deviate or ignore anything just because you might have done something similar or even exactly the same thing a few minutes before on your own.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

  Reset.

  Start an elevated command prompt.

  1. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
     
     net stop wuauserv
     CD %SystemRoot%\System32
     Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
     net start wuauserv

  2. Reset

  * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

  • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
  • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
  • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.

  
  * Note * if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

• She launched 'System Restore' now the computer will not complete the installation

  Clean HP Pavilion bought in 2003.  With the help of daughter for school work.  Computer running very slow.  A ran all the relevant boxes virus / malware scans, the old deleted files ' ran fix disk, disk cleanup and defrag, still running slow.  A ran the 'System Restore' edge (press F10 during boot).  It works through the restore program and sit as I just opened the box.  Through the implementation of procedures and click Finish and it is just there for up to 6 hours before I finally gave up.

  Oh Dear Brian, I hope there is no data file on the computer, you will need in the future. The F10 key is the path to the system recovery that restores the computer to the factory settings. It comes to the computer when it was bought new in 2003. It erases all the data files and installed programs from the drive. In other words, you start again:

• computer will not recognize the installation startup disk upward

  Ive already installed my cd/dvd drive as my first boot in the BIOS. However, I have never enter the setup and go straight to start windows again (I am trying to reinstall windows 7). any advice?

  Go into the BIOS to start the computer and change the setting from IDE to AHCI.  This allows Windows 7 to recognize the SATA CD or DVD ROM drive you dΘmarrez since and it should install.

  This probably won't work if your CD/DVD-ROM is not a SATA drive.
  ----------------

  What is a digital download of Windows 7 you burned? If it is not burned properly (for example, simply copy the installation files to the disk) without the necessary start-up information, Windows 7 does not start from the disc.

  1) click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (2) in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

  (3) in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
