blade81 3 Report post Posted February 3, 2011 Hi, TDSSKiller removed MBR infection from hard drive earlier and that likely rendered recovery partition non working. If you have access to Vista Home Premium installation media you should reinstall (via reformat) with it using product code that was earlier used with this affected system.

Jon.h1 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Unfortunately Vista came pre-installed with no installation media - as his laptop is out of warranty his only option is to format and buy a new version - judging by the cost I think he would prefer to save up for a new laptop! Have you any suggestion as to how I can get the USB ports working - or the CD/DVD drive? I think if he's going to keep using it I best back up any important files! I know not having the service packs leaves him open to more infections but he needs to use it for work so will just have to hope for the best and keep his virus checkers updated! Thanks.

blade81 3 Report post Posted February 3, 2011 Hi, What happens when you plug USB stick in? Nothing appears in "My Computer"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon.h1 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2011 Hi, yes it doesn't show in my computer or make a noise when I plug in - although light does flash on memory stick - strangely if I leave it in when I boot up it does show the 'safely remove hardware' icon? I looked in device manager and it doesn't indicate any problems with hardware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blade81 3 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Hi, Do you recall if USB issue started after Windows update attempt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon.h1 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Not sure exactly when because I wasn't using USB ports - but he remembers his USB mouse had stopped working after the infection had been cleaned - but not sure if that was before or after trying to install updates? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blade81 3 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 Hi, The reason I asked is cos some USB driver files have a timestamp of January 14 2011. Could you install [url="http://www.imgburn.com/"]ImgBurn[/url] to see if it recognizes the cd/dvd writer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon.h1 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 Wow - installed ImgBurn did a discovery and then verify and all worked fine so closed program and on off chance tried to write to DVD and it worked! Have now backed up all his files - not sure what happened there but thanks! It is a bit odd that USB drivers seem to have been updated on the same day and exact time that I first tried to install the service pack - I can't remember doing anything to update them? Actually I've just plugged in his USB mouse and thats started working again! Also I've just tried 2 older 1Gb USB memory sticks and they seem to be working OK - it just seems to be the newer larger (Kingston 8Gb) memory stick that isn't working (which does work on my XP laptop). Anyway, now I've backed up his files he can manage for now. Thanks to you his computer is at least now at a state where he can use it for work - so thanks loads for all your expert help - I have warned him to be very carefull when on the internet until he can update his operating system. I think his computer was probably initially infected because he kept disabling his anti-virus programs - he's a statistical analyst and uses MS Excel to test his mathmatical formula and he found that AVG in particular kept crashing his programs so he just disabled everything! I will have to do a bit of trial and error with various anti-virus programs to see which ones - if any - he can work with. Have you come accross this problem before? Can I just ask - if I borrow a copy of Vista from someone do you know if I can reinstall Vista and then change the OEM product key to the one he already has on this computer? Thanks again - really have appreciated all your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
