Hi
My small ignorant brother downloaded a file for one of his games.(dont ask me wich one it is because it is not relevant)
But this file was a hidden virus, a executable called: "X-force generator." as soon as he clicked ok. The blue error screen came up and pc resetted. Since then if i start up computer the pc resests while the loading xp-screen is on, it event resets in booting during safemode wich every extra option. Can anywhone tell me what to do. I'm afraid im perhaps facing a reinstallation of my xp, is there a way to fix this or retrieve my files.
many thanks.

hi try to do safe mode with command prompt..then at command prompt search for that paritcular file..type at c:\ directory.. dir x*.* /s /a it will search for all files in your hard drive starting with x filename.
if ever the search will find that file...then navigate to that directory..then delete the file... hope it helps...

I cannot even start in safe mode with command prompt. it auto-resets aswell.

have you try to disable automatic restart on failure? right click on my computer then click on "advance tab" then click on "Start Up and Recovery" Settings..then a window will come out under "System Failure" unchecked "Automatically Restart"... if your system will not restart anymore..then continue to do the suggestion i give you before..let us know your feedback..
