Well guys, I am EXTREMELY P***ed off right now. It was looking like there was no way I could get rid of the virus without reinstalling Windows 7, which is what I did. I had the setup on a flash drive (yes, it was 100% legal). I ran the setup to reinstall windows 7 ultimate, and it went through the process, but once it was finished, it started running this really cr*ppy version of windows, with a stupid looking resolution (everything was supersized and stretched) and it wouldn't let me change it to the correct one for my computer. It also doesn't have any drivers installed, so I can't use USB devices, the network adapter (to access internet), or anything. I can't even go online to install the drivers I need! Windows 8 was working fine, but windows 7 was not. So I re-ran the installer, wondering if I'd chosen a wrong setting somewhere during the installation, but I ended up with the same problem. I then noticed that it had replaced my working windows 8 OS with this cr*ppy windows 7! So I lost ALL of my work, programs, settings, and decent OS's, and my laptop is practically a brick now. I have no idea what happened, or more importantly, how to fix it. I can't even begin to describe how annoyed I am. I don't know what I'm going to do. I need this computer for work-related things and I really can't go without it.
For the time being, I'm using my old Acer, but this thing really can't run any of the programs I need, so it's not a replacement. I need my old one back ASAP and have no idea what to do. Any ideas? Please tell me there are real computer geeks or even former members of the Geek Squad, or SOMEONE out there who can help me. I have faith in you guys. My stress level is just through the roof.
Regards,
Matt
