Fixing the problem requires admin access to the computer. You may need to consult an engineer near you.

Get the appropriate installation device and boot the PC from it. Back up your personal data and drivers first.

Hey guys....
How do I fix this? Whenever I open an ms file (doc, xlxs or pnt) on my pc, it automatically generates a Shortcut file. Also when I copy files with external hdd or usb, a desktop Shortcut is created in the external drive. Please, I need a good antivirus cos I don't believe this avast is giving my pc all round protection. It updates but will still pop info for me to purchase it and expired licence thing.
Help a bro...
N/B
I'm using Windows 8.1 on my hp 15


You can follow this step:-

How To Remove The Shortcut Virus
From A Flash Drive.
I'm sure many of you have encountered the
shortcut
virus. It happens when all your files in your
device
shows you a 1kb shortcut sign no matter the size
of
the file. Solving this is very easy. All you need to
do
is this.
Step 1. With your flash drive attached to your
system, go to the command prompt by holding
the
windows key and then pressing R (windows key +
r) and typing "cmd" then hit enter.
Step 2. Change directory to the directory of the
flash drive. That is, if your flash drive is allocated
"e" by the computer then simply type
"e:" (without
the parenthesis) and press enter.
Step 3. Type the following command. attrib -s -h -
r /s /d then press enter. (You can add a space
between the letters.)
Step 4. Wait for the cursor to return, i.e go back
to
its original state. (for example E:/>_).
Step 5. Go to your flash and you will find all your
files restored. You can now delete all the shortcut
icons and scan your flash for viruses and you are
done!
Tell me how it goes when you try it. Ciao.

Ur user profile is corrupt..there are just 2options:
1..invoke the backup from the registry
2..create another user profile so as to inherit the rights of the previous profile(that wa why he was asking u if there was another user acct)
Here's the problem..forcing Windows 8 and 10 into safe mode is tricky and u can't even get past the password page else u wld have used the script I provided yesterday to force it..
The simpliest way I know is to use an installation cd to do it..there,u wld find many options that can lead anywhere if not carefully followed...the last option(expert mode) is to use brute force to bypass that password page and create an admin profile..
Be advised,As simple as this Writeup may seem,severe actions may occur(diy freaks) like deleting ur entire profile and losing ur files or even wiping out the system

Access the BIOS setup page and verify if the line appears.

Due to my very low budget, i had no choice but to opt for a low spec laptop. Its an Hp Compaq nx6125 with 896MB worth of RAM, 1.6GHz clockspeed and came with a windows xp sevice pack 2 pre-installed.

I tried installing Metatrader 4 (a charting application for trading FOREX) on it, but it keeps getting declined. I have been advised to install windows 7 on it, but i am very skeptical considering it has a low RAM and clockspeed.

Do you think i should increase the RAM, to say 2gig, and go ahead with the windows 7 installation??

On a second thought, i am guessing if i install windows xp service pack 3, the mt4 would install. Do you also think this is possible??

Please advise me accordingly. Thank you
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 10:11am On Mar 21, 2016
During system startup, a message is usually displayed that tells you what key to press to access the BIOS or CMOS setup.

It's usually f2 or f10.

What brand of PC do you have?

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 10:26am On Mar 21, 2016
Did you check the system requirements for the app you're trying to install? What error message are you getting?

Upgrade the physical RAM (4GB recommended), install Windows 7 and you will be fine.

Install Windows 7..it's way lighter than xp and 2gig is just alright..as long as it's a 32bit..in addition,make sure the antivirus ur loading on it shd be a light one so it doesn't consume most of the memory..
In other words,u can turn the laptop into a dedicated system running only the software..that way the system utilizes only the 2gig

then its in coma.... grin grin grin grin grin ;Di dont use sleep or hibernation and never really liked it....its normal atimes what you are experiencing.....but u dont need to remove your battery..just press the power button down for a few seconds to power off...in some cases,it would restore else it would delete the restoration data(same as when u remove the battery) and boot up normally..
here are possible risks u may encounter in the future,if u continues to power down or remove your battery:
1...your os may be corrupt and not start up...
2...automatic repair would start coming up frequently
3..your hard drive may damage completely or generate bad sectors that would hinder startup or smooth running of your operating system
so bear in mind all these before u press sleep or remove ur battery
