Hey,
My problem is with my laptop ( Fujitsu Siemens Amilo ). I had no
problem with Vista at all, it was working perfect untill a few weeks
ago. I was online for about an hour then all of a sudden everything
started to go really slow then internet explorer stopped working. I
thought it was to do with my internet connection but it couldn't have
been because i am recieving wireless from my main computer and the
internet is fine. I realised then that after re connecting my internet
that i could only go on to MSN. Internet explorer and Mozilla firefox
were not working at all. I haven't downloaded anything that could've
made problems either.
Anyway, since then, vista has been slowly messing up. First, it was
saying i didn't shut it down properly when i did. Then i realised my
wireless connection had been deleted and my recycle bin, paint and
calculator got deleted. I know they're only little things, but surely
it's not right for that to happen out of nowhere lol.
I just turned on my laptop and it said it needed to do this fix thing
so i let it run through hoping that everything would improve, but it
hasn't. It now takes ages to load up and now i can only go on to Safe
Mode.
I really want to try and re install vista but i don't have the cd. I'm
wondering if there's any way at all to re-install vista without the cd?
Pleaseeee try to help me, i love my laptop lol xx

Sounds like malware. Even though you didn't download anything doesn't
mean malware couldn't have gotten on the system. I would do a full scan
with an Antivirus in safe mode. Avast is free and you can schedule a
boot time scan. Try malwarebytes, Spybot SD, Superantispyware as well to
see if the AV couldn't pick up anything.

AV won't pick up malware at all, unless you have an edition that
specifically includes Antimalware functions. Avast free does not.

I have Mc Afee, windows defender and i'm sure i had something else on
there aswell. I scanned my laptop twice a week when i had it and it
didn't pick anything up. I did a test on there the other day on one of
the applications and it said my laptop score is 2.5 but is healthy.
Could there be another solution? x

I'm sorry but "malware" is a general term used to describe most
malicious programs. Viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, rootkits, etc.
And yes, Avast has an antispyware module built in as well as being an AV
and rootkit detector. Avast does pick up spyware, adware, etc.

Lol. I can't download it though because i can't go on the internet. It's
completely messed up. I'm on safe mode now.. but it's not letting me
click on anything at all. I restarted it and it's done the same thing.
The only time the laptop is responsive now is it i press the F buttons
on start up. x

Yes but i can't connect. I can't use any functions on my laptop because
it's not working. I can only use the F buttons on startup to go in to
the boot menu etc. x

Umm no - Avast free version picks up VIRUSES ONLY which are NOT the same as
Malware.
AVG Free picks up Viruses NOT Malware.
Antivir picks up Viruses, NOT Malware.
If AV applications picked up malware there would be no need for Spybot,
Adaware or any of the other antimalware applications, would there?

<sigh> do NOT piggyback on a thread that is discussing a COMPLETELY
different problem.
Your Vendor has to provide you with a method of returning your machine to
Factory Gate specifications. read the manual that came with it in order to
find out how to do this.
And please be aware that the "forum" you are posting in leaches off the MS
Usenet Newsgroups, so please follow Usenet custom, reply to the thread,
QUOTE the post you are replying to and do not change the subject line.
Thank you.
