Basta La Vista
Member
Hello I am new.......Name is Philip - Please help.
I am at my wits end here and need assistance.
I have a lap HP dv6700 Vista Home (w/Windows 7 as an upgrade) That is, I had upgraded to Win 7 last year but went back to Vista.
I noticed that I had lost much of my hard drive space - I suspected a virus (conficker?) so I did a clean install -back to Vista Home/
The virus became really noticeable after the Clean Install.
Sometime during the Windows Up-Dating process I noticed the Control Panel was empty/then missing - Then after a few clicks all I get now is a "Flash" on the screen - as though its attempting to load.
I also Lost Windows Update function and along w/Control Panel and "personalization" of the desktop. (so far)
I have tried everything - and there are things missing from the list below.
IMPORTANTLY
When I tried to install my free ComCast Norton 360 it was a No Go - it said I needed at least Service Pack 1 - so I tried to install it. No Go -
It said I needed .NET Framework 3.5 sp1 - it was No Go
When I try to use a Microsoft "FixIt" it does not load (it worked at first)- always an error message -
Did chkdsk and Scanow.......(several times)
Installed and ran SuperAntiSpyware, and MalwareBytes.
I did the SL UI Notification as well.
I used the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista (KB947821) [May 2012] to no avail.
Used cleanupkit net frame 3.5 ???
Power Shell will NOT load when I try "microsoft hotfix" - power shell won't download"
Tried the Microsoft "Deploy software" No Go
