[QUOTE="OokamiCreed, post: 384076, member: 36266"] Note that Windows 8/8.1 OS has command prompt and a startup repair type feature called "Automatic Repair". [LIST=1] [*]Boot DVD [*]Click "Repair your computer" [*]Click "Troubleshoot" [*]Options are in there [/LIST] If you have Windows 8 you should take part in options that [USER=82]@jamescv7[/USER] posted - "Refresh" and "Reset PC" however I do not know how to access this if your computer will not boot as it is in the settings. I'm pretty sure these settings are available without booting into Windows. These will do much more good than using a general repair of your system. It will also clean any infections that you may have by wiping them out and only leaving in documents, etc (depending on your selection). I can't off the top of my head remember if installed programs are kept. If they are, I believe anti-virus and firewalls will be dysfunctional. Could be wrong. This is how it worked on Windows 7 if you "refreshed" it by installing the OS over top of your current without wiping the partition/drive. [/QUOTE]
