Windows XP reactivation after virus cleaning?
I have Windows XP home. I ran Malwarebytes Anti-malware, which finds a few articles that were infected, it is cleaned up. However, when I restarted and then restarted my computer, it wouldn't boot fully and said that I needed to activate Windows XP. I thought that the *? Activate the Windows program said that it couldn't find my internet connection to activate online, if I tried to activate by phone. The woman on the phone said that of Activation ID that was shown on my screen is not valid (even if she has repeated verbatim back), so she said she couldn't give me a confirmation ID, and instead I had to call support. The guy he wanted my product key Windows XP, which I gave to him, and he said was valid, she couldn't give me a confirmation either ID, they are sent to another person. No #3 says that he also could not give me a confirmation ID, even if my product key was valid, unless I paid $59 for technical support. There is no way I can get a confirmation ID, given that my copy of Windows is legitimate with my unique product key, without be bounced three people at microsoft who all say that can't stop even if my product key is valid?
Maybe there was a false positive and MBAM removed something necessary!

Make sure you have backups of all important data for you (Favorites/internet Favorites, music, photos, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, numbers of series and product keys and installation to start with media) as soon as POSSIBLE.
Format and start from scratch OR use the 'Restore Factory default' the manufacturer can give you. Your stuff of restoring a backup after installation of your spplications on the machine.
Why? If this system is still messed up after cleaning a virus/trojan/worm/spyware/adware/malware - it may have to discover/waiting more moving and / ore actually operate 100% may take longer to restore to the Virgin (not to mention you can never achieve 100% otherwise.)

Loss of Internet and Windows features limited after a clean install of Windows 7
Hi all
Here's a bit of context. I had an additional Lenovo T410 sitting around, so I tried restoring it to its "factory condition" by a start-up "format". Plan was to boot from the CD drive and reinstall Windows 7 (32 bit) in the process. However, disaster, after the process complete, I'm now stuck in a kind of safe mode (everything is bigger than usual) and the computer is running several pilots. I manually installed the network card driver (can identify networking but cannot connect to the internet). Device Manager still shows device Base system, controller, Ethernet, Serial Port PCI, PCI Simple Communications Controller and unknown to be updated device drivers.
My goals here are to 1) restore internet connectivity and 2) make all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thank you for any input!
* Virtual H.o.t. If you stuck with me through this whole explanation.
Lenovo.com connect on another computer, click Help, enter your computer type and download the network drivers for your machine. Then return to the page to download the driver to your computer and download ThinkVantage System Update. Run this and it will update automatically the rest of your hardware drivers (see the post of Zoltan, above).

After that a virus clean my printer HP Deskjet F 300 quit working they installed Windows XP from Windows 2000 and I can't make it work help
"they have installed? You had somebody "clean" your computer and they have also installed Windows XP (you used to have Windows 2000)?
The first thing you need to do is to determine if 'they' a legitimate version of Windows XP installed. Download and run the MGADiag tool. If the tool does not report that Windows is "genuine", take back it the computer and demand that 'they' install an authentic version, paid Windows XP. While they are at it, tell them to install a driver for your HP Deskjet F300.
If you do not have a genuine version of Windows XP, then go to this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=1128298
You have several choices to this page.- The top line, which only says: 'Pilot' is the complete set of software including software HP's Photosmart printer drivers and the scanner of your Deskjet. As the HP notes, this is a very large download, so if you want this package, you must have a high-speed Internet connection or order the CD.
- The second line, which says "Driver - Product Installation software" includes the basic print and scan drivers. HP has said, "not all product features are supported with this installation package." I don't know what "features" are not supported if you choose this option.
- It should not necessary the "Patch" because or the other of the first two downloads is dated after the patch and so should be included. After things are installed, you can download and install the most recent of the 3 "Updates".
When you wrote that the printer "will not work" after a new installation of Windows XP, I assume that the printer is not installed at all. Just in case, however, previously, you use the package that you download from HP, follow the instructions here to clean all traces of a failed attempt to install it. (Note: remember "Step 4".) "Step 6" refers to the directions outlined in the upper part of this post.)

My PC has a virus; My anti virus would not repair it... After doing a clean install of Windows XP, I remember reading that I can delete a file named 'old machine' if the new installation worked.

Tonight, I ran an update of virus definitions and then run the 'full' scan Microsoft Security Essentials has notified me that I had a few threats. There was also a warning on a temporary file and asked if I wanted to send it to Microsoft I did...I am trying to be proactive and prevention viruses take over this machine again... I remembered reading after installation 'own' that I should remove the file 'old Machine' if the computer works well after the clean install? .. .also had a warning on a temporary file.Any idea where I can find the 'old machine' file; (I thought the clean install would remove all)... I did a search on my computer and come with nothingHelp, please!...Hello
Step 1: You can remove it in c:/Windows. With the help of old cleaning disc.
In the disk cleanup, select the previous installation of windows. Put a check mark to remove it.
Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista
I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.
I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.
I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.
I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.
In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.
Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.
Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.
If it was built * friend *, you will communicate with them. Ask your media.

* Original title: hard drive
I have a lenovo laptop, processor Intel i3, 500 GB hard drive. After the clean install of windows 7, it gives an error saying that there is a problem in the hard drive. I ran chkdsk looking for bad sector and its display 6000 KB in bad sectors. After completing the audit when it began to restart its stuck when the windows logo appears. What should I do? Reinstall the windows help?
Run the hard drive HD diagnosis extended CD scan manufacturer to know with certainty the State of the reader. If your brand has no bootable diagnostics in the link, use Seagate Seatools burned onto CD or SeaTools for a USB key . Follow this with a full check disk command from the installation media kicked prompt know with absolute certainty the State of the reader. If he repeated the errors after you run the two tests twice, I replace it or at least keep everything backed up in real time.
If by chance the drive past diagnosis then compares the steps you've done with the best possible Clean install Windows 10 in the link, you can do more if it varied too - especially if the partitions were not deleted during install. If you do then I additonally run own Diskpart command command line of the punt media accessible to the first screen after startup by pressing SHIFT + F10 keys, or through the repair your computer on the second screen.

Since you did a clean install this strongly points to material with only one
small chance, it is the BIOS, chipset drivers or others. Could be the hard drive, the
