i've tried to install it in different places 3 times but still the same happens.

Yes im in admin mode

;/

Thank you in advance

 

Run a chkdsk /f. Open command prompt, type chkdsk /f

It will ask you to reboot, and on reboot, it will say Windows is checking disk for consistency, iirc. It will come up with a list of results in the end, the specific thing to look for is where it says "xKb in bad sectors", where "x" will be a number that is hopefully 0. You can also check Event Viewer, by right clicking Computer and clicking Manage, as long as you are running XP Pro.

Click Event Viewer on the left hand pane, at the top, click View, click Filter, and set a filter for each of these, individually.

Disk / disk ( Both if you have both options. )
atapi
ftdisk
NTFS / ntfs ( Both if you have both options. )
FAT ( If you FAT32 rather than NTFS )

If the screen comes up blank after clicking OK, that means there were no errors for that item. If there were errors, post them here.

It could potentially be a memory issue, but HDD is more likely in this case. The chkdsk /f command could potentially clear up your issue.

 

Btw i have vista 32bit, i read what u said but to honest...havnt a clue how to run what u said but i tried putting chkdsk /f into the search bar and clicked the program that it came up with but nothing happened, i opened event viewer but i cant find the filter button ;/

edit - ok u editted ur post one sec

 

sorry for taking so long..pc crashed for ages twice..it did a scan when i rebooted but no results came up im back in viewer and it says 811 errors for atapi in the last hour out of 820 odd overall duno what that means cant seem to find those other types in any logs

 

You have atapi errors, but no disk, fat, or ntfs?

And sorry for assuming XP, that's just what the background in the screenshot looked like

edit: D'oh, I saw XP taskbar and generic blue background, upon closer inspection of the taskbar, it is a XP skinned Vista or 7 taskbar.

atapi, but none of the other types of errors either indicates a potential hardware problem or a rootkit.

Download and run GMER, http://www.gmer.net/

What we are looking for, specifically, are lines that say "copy of mbr" "suspicious modification" "modification of mbr" or just random letters / numbers on the right hand column.

Edit#2 : Oh, the random letters / numbers can be in the left hand column as well. If the path / letters inlclude the letters "mfe" "avg" "nrt" "sym" etc, those are likely from an anti-virus.

 

yeah window vista but i like this setup for some reason =p ill look for those things now, ty!

theres also 5 disk errors in the last hour but no FAT or ntfs ones tht i can see

 

Oh, easiest thing to do would be just to post a screenshot of GMER results, that way you don't have to type them

 

Is it normal to get a BSOD when i try open anything while running the scan ;/?

did it twice now lol i wont do it this time until it ends how long will it take?

 

While running which scan?

GMER only takes a few seconds.

Oh! Oh! I forgot! Don't click the scan button! That takes forever!

Just open it, and it will dispaly quick results.

 

oh okay one sec

soz lmao BSOD again..

You have a rootkit, congratulations!

Luckily, it is most likely a very boring TDSS variant.

Shazam!

Download, unzip, and run that. It will find something, mark it for removal, and ask for a reboot.

After that, download and run a quick scan with MBAM.

ok did the first scan it found one thing yea, deleted it just rebooted now running malwarebytes scan let ya know soon

So this could be the problem for it not installing properly?

 

Viruses, especially rootkits, can do all kinds of funny things. Run Malwarebytes, delete the viruses, reboot, and then try to schedule another chkdsk /f to be on the safe side

Post back with MBAM results, just screenshot the virus section again.

 

kk

Hmm :s it seems to crash everytime i run it now..3 times in a row after about a minute goes 2 not responding

Ill just do a full scan

 

Try in Safe Mode with Networking, tap F8 constantly while computer is starting up, from the absolute very beginning, about once a second, till you get to Advanced Start-up Options. Choose Safe Mode w/ Networking, run scan from there. There is also the chance, with those atapi errors, that you have a hardware problem

 

what sort of hardware, if it is something with my hardware could it be PSU? cause i got this quite old one in atm cause my "new" one stopped working a few months ago

 

More likely your hard drive, the motherboard, or the cable connecting the two.

Random crashes could be attributed to the power supply, keep checking Event Viewer, If it keeps populating with atapi errors after removing rootkit, one of those three things is probably bad.

 

ty so much for all ur help even if it doesnt fix the problem "" hopefully it will, if not ill just scream and wither away slowly. Thank you! appreciate it man

 

Not a problem, and good luck!

 

thanks =p i'll post back as to whether or not it works in the end
