| hi, found your site through a yahoo search for my computer problems.
fingers crossed someone can help.
i started getting problems a few weeks ago and did a system restore, this was ok but when it finished it said that some files had to be renamed to save them ( sorry cant remember what the files were)
things started getting worse so i tried to undo the system restore, it wouldnt let me undo it or perform another one, just says its not been possible and to try again etc
thought i wouild clean my computer up a bit and delete stuff i didnt use etc and then tried to defrag, it wont let me defrag and i get this meesage
"MMC cannot open file C:WINDOWS\system32\drfg.msc
This may be becasue the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file"
so thought id try a search for this MMC, i cant perform a search either and i get this message
"A file that is required to run Search Companion is missing. You may need to run setup"
when i try and run setup i get this
"Please go to control panel to install and configure system components"
so i have no system restore, no defrag and no search, unless there is soemthing else missing that i dont know about yet.
but when i tried to run it after downloading it i got the message that i was using a later version.
HELP!!
i dont have the original discs for this computer either so i cant solve it that way.
I use Zonealarm firewall and AVG anti virus, but i am trying out avast anti virus since these problems started as i think they may have been caused by a virus that AVG missed. Avast found 2 and healed them.
I also use ad-aware, spybot and cwshredder on a regular basis
