This all started when I installed AVG anti-virus. Things were going swell
for a day and a half until I checked for an updates on the AVG which it did
and all of a sudden programs started crashing. I decided the AVG was the
problem and uninstalled it. I hate shi**y software that leaves half its
files on your machine when you uninstall it. The biggest problem was the
"virus vault" it left in my Outlook 2003. Anyway I reinstalled McAfee which
I have been using for a couple of years. Things were still crashing and so
I tried doing a simple system restore to an earlier date. This didn't work,
so I tried another date. To make a long messy story short, after several
failed tries I resorted to the recovery disks. That was a no-go. I got as
far as disk 5 of 6, but it keeps hanging with these different error
messages. One is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, another one is NTLDR is missing,
hit Ctrl Alt Del to restart--which then gives me the same old
merry-go-round. One blue screen with white letter advises me to Disable
Mios Memory options such as caching or shadowing. How do I do this? I
cannot get to safe mode now. Anyone?
