Alrite well i havent been able to get on and play games in the past week because someway and somehow i got a virus. I really dont know how but i cant even start up my computer anymore. the virus made it so i cant go on the internet, i cant install things, and i cant do a system restore or even open up some simple apps. for the second time, ive lost every single thing in my itunes and have to start from scratch and buy/download everything again

anyways lets cut to the chase :D

i wont get a new computer till, at earliest, augest. with the economy the way it is and since christmas just passing my parents arent very eager to throw away a thousand bucks. im gunna have to save up a bunch of money and then in augest (my birthday) i will give it to my parents and they will help me get one

plus im in the process of getting my license so that really doesnt help :(

...and im on my dads computer right now if anyone was wondering. i dunno if i posted this in the right section but im just letting anyone that cares know i wont be as active
 
its a 5 year old computer so i figured its time to get a new one

i talked to my dad about doing that but this is the plan right now
 
what Killzone said, even if it is 5 years old, you can still reformat and re-install windows, that or you are short a computer until august :P
 
Simple... When you reformat:

Don't do anything until you are done reading:

1. Don't go on unsafe sites.
2. Don't download anything unsafe
3. Don't download anything unapproved.
4. Don't download anything from unsafe sites.
5. All of the above.
6. Above, all of the above.
7. You don't need a new computer.
8. Follow 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
9. Ignore guideline 8.
10. Ignore the guideline to ignore guideline 8.
11. Ignore all of the above.
12. Ignore guideline 11.

Not everyone can afford that. In fact, most people can't afford that.

But yeah, your best bet is to atleast format and start over. You'd have to download games again (or reinstall them) but they're still on your Steam account, it's better than waiting eight months for a new one.
 
Second what Cupcake and Kill said. I mean Ive had mine for sometime, but its always worked for me, might aswell give it a try. Either u save the computer, or u wait till August, which pretty much sucks........ur whole summer is pretty much down the toilet with CS:S :(
 
Your itunes isn't lost. There are several programs out there that will transfer the music from your iPod and put them back on a PC. I personally use Yamipod, its free and relatively easy to use
 
sounds like a re-format... get ready for the worst 2 days of your life
 
suck it up and reformat. continue to save money and when you have it go buy a new one. no sense in going without a pc for 8 months. currently you can get a basic pc for about 3 - 500 and just spend an extra 200 or so on ram and vid upgrades if you current video card and ram isnt swappable to the new pc. even then you can wait on that. you already have the monitor keyboard and mouse so you dont need to by those again. u might even be able to get by with buying a barebones system from like mwave.com or tigerdirect. com or might i even dare say the overpriced but always effluent newegg.com
 
I am making the asumption that you got this virus from downloading a game?

Try this: When you start your computer, for the few seconds it doesnt crash, read the screen. If it says something like: "[F10] Options" or something like that, press the button shown and work from there.
 
PORN is never the answer....always go to free sites, not downloadable sites....lmao

Hope u get it fized tho
