Computer Problems

Last night my computer was hit with a rather nasty virus and now won't boot correctly (Even in safe mode).  So, now I'm on another computer trying to figure out how to make a boot disk and get startup repair if possible.  Can anyone help?

DeadManWalking

Btw, I'm running Windows Vista and I don't have the installation disk.

1) call up the manufacturer and get a system restore disk mailed to you.  Dunno about the vista thing though.

2) Attach the infected harddrive as a slave drive to a working computer, and then blitz the bastard with anti-virus utilities.
Just another rebel plotting rebellion.

Well, I found an ISO of the recovery disk, downloaded it and installed Nero to try to burn it... now the CD/DVD-Burner on this computer doesn't seem to work because of that...

Crap DMW! I don't what to say... but that sucks cuz you're like the most valuable spriter presently.
I got blocked from the site somehow So I was gone for a minute too.

Thanks.  I had to reinstall the drivers, and was able to burn the disc, and now I'm waiting to see if it can fix my computer.

Hurrah! Now go download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
And if you have a friend from the army.. Well, they have access to the best anti-virus stuff.
Symantec has an Anti-Virus program they made specifically for them, so if you can get ahold of that, it works really nicely.

As the puppeteer pulls His strings,
The fragile doll spreads Her wings.
To dance a ballet as He directs
That is the Curse of the Marionette.

Controlled by a hand far, far above,
Forbidden to care, forbidden to love.
Forever shall She mime what She cannot know,
Until the day She loses her illusory glow.

Propped up on a stilt where wine once stood,
The Marionette is, once more, only wood.
Her glossy eyes have lost their shine,
Her silken hair, turned to twine.

What a fate awaits the poor little doll,
Who dances and runs but cannot stand at all.
And the puppeteer is applauded at the end of every show,
But the audience's joyous response the doll can never know.

I am but a doll on an endless stage,
Dancing for others whilst I slowly age.
My puppeteer sits far above,
Hiding His face behind a white glove.

And when I have aged to nothing but wood,
I will be tucked away in a closet where a doll once stood.
Then, as I gather dust and the world passes by,
I will be forgotten by the vast, blue sky.
