Can someone give me simple instructions on correcting this? I tried the ones at Vista64.com but to much of a dunce to figure it out.
The computer didn't come with an install CD. And we never managed to get the stupid back up CDs to even run. We've had this computer since 2008 and this is the first real major issue that we have ever truly had with it.
I turn my computer on and now I get Logged on with a temporary profile.
I am on Windows Vista this started yesterday.
I backed up what files I could find that mattered. I just could not back up all of them or my browsers. Because they are acting as if nothing is bookmarked in them and even add-ons are missing and all the files that I saved with Mozilla's scrapbook add-on.
It is very hard to find files on the computer... Unless you remember the exact name of any specific file you need you won't find it once you find a file you try and open the containing folder where it's located and you can try to backup all the stuff that way in that specific folder.. I am taking the time to run a virus scan on each folder before I copy over to my external hard drive.
This seemed to start after my son installed and used both Team Fortress 2 and Steam. I don't know if they were the culprits but it's odd that we started having this issue afterwards the next morning.
I ran Kaspersky and it did say Steam was a virus but most virus programs say that. So I asked for Kaspersky to remove it anyway. It didn't find any other issues.
I tried running Clean Up the toilet flushing one and it never get's out of demo mode.
