I have an older Gateway that was originally set up with Me (yea, I know). Recently, I installed 2003 and upgraded through the internet with 2007 packs. I purchased XPSecurity for virus control and it obviously did not work, as I soon become infected with numerous viruses. Asking everywhere, I was directed to uninstall all the systems, excluding the original Me and then load the System Restoration disks. I unstalled everything and restarted the computer, in anticipation of loading the System Restoration Disks. The computer will not start. It gives me the infamous Blue Screen with an error message and then attempts to restart into 2003. I have tried the Safe Mode to Reboot Mode and it always attempts to restart, gives an error message (Something about Manager Utilization...one line...an error) and restarts again. I reviewed the BIOS, by pressing the F10 key. But I do not know enoughf about this function to do any good. I think that the computer is "dumb" in that by removing all programs, it does not have a system to start on?? Either way, I need help to get the damn thing to work. Any suggestions would be most helpful.
