Hello everybody

it seems like i've done something terrible to my friends notebook.
i have it because i was supposed to clean it up cause it was full of spyware and slow and
everything. so i deleted lots of stuff, scanned with spybot, housecall and ad aware.
i did that both in safe mode and normal mode. i also deleted things like
the messenger plus sponsor and stuff. then everything worked fine and i decided to
restart in safemode one more time and scan again. that found some more which i deleted.
i really can't remember deleting anything else this time.

then i changed settings in msconfig to restart normally again.
but after that, the pc ist constantly turning itself on and off. with pressing f8 i tried
to restart again in safemode and the other possiblillities but immediately after
pressing enter it turns off again.

then i still have the choice to excess the system utillity config but i don't understand
a thing there.



now i'm like having a nervous breakdown here. i don't know what to do

if you have any suggestion please help me!

Hi there Girl in uniform.


Sounds like its time for an repair install:

oh joe5 thank you...

but there is another small problem here. that is that there isn't any cd drive on this notebook at this time. it's supposed to get repaired but my friend has been waiting for a new one for 2 months now. Medion isn't the quickest to deliver spare parts to iceland...

is there anything i could do with that system utility thing?

Well , if windows doesn't boot in any way then you can't acces the System Configuration Utility , so thats not an option.

I think you really need a cd-drive :-(

i see.
but anyway. thank you so much for listening and trying to help.
i have to go to sleep now and hope there will be a miracle while i'm sleeping. maybe tomorrow it will work again...
thanx again

What is the model number of the laptop? And does it have a floppy disc drive?

Ahem...... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;310353

MadGamer that would work but she can't get it to boot up

there is no floppy drive either. I don't know about the serial number is that somewhere written on the back?

there is no cd rom dvd rom or floppy drive. Untill you get the cd drive repaird its going to be hard to do anything :smash:
