1143646 2010-10-11 04:44:00 Hi there folks!

Just thought I'd post here because my Googling isn't turning up many results, in the hopes that my computer issues can be aided by you fine people.

I'm running Windows 7 64bit.

First up... I uninstalled some things using Revo Uninstaller Pro, and might've indiscriminately clicked to delete some registry items in the subsequent windows - I uninstalled YIM and Adobe Flash.

Some time after that, quite a few things started going wrong. First up and most obviously, my sound stopped working. There's no levels coming through the mixer, and in Safe Mode it says some Hardware Changes may have gone undetected. Doesn't fix anything.

Next up, I can't click anything to open it in Control Panel. I can switch between Control Panel windows, but to open the various items I have to run them from cmd.exe, etc. It's a similar deal with the Action Center in the system tray.

In the system tray, the network icon shows up as not being connected to a network and not being able to find one, but I can connect to the internet in most cases fine.

I've run virus scans with AVG, avast, Malware-bytes and Microsoft Security Essentials. I can't update MSE, however, receiving a Class Not Registered error. No viruses to be found.

Now when it comes to system restoration... Revo set a couple of system restore points, as it usually does. However, when I go to System Restore, I receive an error saying "System Restore does not appear to be functioning on this system... A Volume Shadow Copy Service Component encountered an unexpected error. Check the Application Event Log for more information. (0x80042302)"

Does this sound like a virus at work, or just my own misguided actions? Is there much I can do on my end, or do I need to backup what data I keep on my laptop and take it in to be cleaned up and reinstalled? Do you need any more info from me?

Thanks heaps if you can help!

1143647 2010-10-11 04:55:00 Get rid of AVG and Avast. You should only have one AV program. Post a hijackthis log. Or get teamviewer. And I can check it out from here (to be safe boot into safe mode / networking, if you can get online in safe mode / NW). Speedy Gonzales (78)

1143649 2010-10-12 05:57:00 Alrighty, logfile beneath. Will be uninstalling AVG and avast later - though I'm hesitant to do that at the moment simply because I have no idea what's going on with MSE, etc.

I'll have my external (and a relatively recent backup on it) back soon, hopefully that'll work, but if System Restore isn't working I'm doubtful that it would even initiate. Eugh.

Cheers for the offer to check it out on your end, might see if you can make heads or tails of the stuff below etc. before that, though. :D

Edit: Also got an error whilst getting the log, i56.tinypic.com

1143651 2010-10-12 06:15:00 I uninstalled I uninstalled YIM and Adobe Flash.

Some time after that, quite a few things started going wrong.

Co-incidence? Removing those, reg entries or not shouldn't have caused a problem.

Remove your sound device and reinstall it.

If you get any more system problems you can do a repair install. or a Scannow SFC.

1143652 2010-10-12 06:18:00 I can't open Add/Remove Programs via Control Panel, and when I run appwiz.cpl via the Run prompt, nothing appears.

Does it go by another name in windows 7?

Running on a laptop, so physical removal is a bit of an issue... as for reinstalling it, I've been looking for the drivers but HP's driver update site is a pain to use, and I've tried updating via Device Manager but it says it's all up to date.

1143655 2010-10-12 06:48:00 Hah... Can't uninstall from there, it seems. "An error occurred while trying to uninstall X. It may have already been uninstalled." Tried this with 3 different programs. No dice.

Apparently HP has a recovery partition set aside... should I backup what data I can and try to use that? Can't really think of anything else I can do.
