At least you seem to know what is wrong and how to fix it, so your ahead of the game in my oppinion. When my puter goes on the blink, if the on-off switch don't work...I know it's broke!

Just don't "copy or tranferr the virus over". There are some ahh, computer viruses, worms etc that once you "hook up the old drive" or anything that was "contaminated" on the old system, once this "bug" senses this new system--It lives on--so, get a good anti-virus S/w I use Mcafee, and check ALL your shXt--be careful excepting stuff from friends and relatives--OR downloading from unknown sites--otherwise, you puter WILL be taken over--Just little advise from a puter PRO--If no defense, you'll be in the same boat with new puter--

Hi Everyone
My options were very limited,, the full restore put my computer back to factory settings like it was supposed to , but I think whatever infected the hard drive was still there,, I have set up the new computer ,, it will take me some time to get used to the new operating system and to restore my data and info that was stored on the old machine, but I'm thankful that most of my coin photos were on the forum !!
Anyway my email is still down I have to get some info from the ISP that I didnt know to set it up. But I will at least be able to check the forum for now.
Rick

I would run a current virus update and scan before you transfer any data or hard drives. There is always the download of AVG just one of the free virus protection programs. Just a thought.

Sorry, Metal I was a little late on the response. If your ISP has an address or your prior or current software for that ISP you can download it and be in business. Scout, I would think you would have to be more accurate/detailed.
