A long time ago, my dad deleted a harddrive partition that I now believe had Office 2003 installation files and whatnot on it. Since then, I'm unable to repair my Office programs. My toolbar settings don't stay saved. My Norton Security doesn't work. And I can't even log into Yahoo email or any other https sites. Help!
I've used Regedit and seen that many programs have things pointing to this nonexistent drive. But when I look on the C drive, these files don't exist. What do I do?
Can I just delete these files and hope that the programs reset them up? Or do I just change the drive and point them to files that don't exist on my C drive? I know nothing of changing the registry and really don't want to screw anything up. But in the meantime, my daughter is using MY computer all the time, and that totally sucks. Help!!
BTW: It's been so long that System Restore isn't an option because that restore point doesn't exist.

First, there isn't any longer some thing which conclusively says your indications are the outcome of a scourge??? except there are such distinctive viruses that that's choking your cpu to death presently after startup. yet to respond to your question, no merely deleting a not straight forward stress does no longer remove numerous varieties of viruses. maximum particularly draw close Boot record viruses. those deliberately save themselves partly of the not straight forward stress which does no longer get deleted for precisely this reason. you want to apply fdisk /MBR. There are also uncommon ones which could stay in RAM even via a warmth reboot. As technologies has enhanced so have viruses.

You can try a program called "Registry First Aid." I think it is shareware, but I do remembering it not costing very much at all to get the fully functional program.
I hope this helps.

Disk director worked good for me several weeks ago, i'd deleted partition from the windows disk management, and then restore it with disk director without loosing any data!
