basically last wedness day i woz on here (as usal) when aol crashed + wouldn't start up again i did a virus scan + found a trogan horse called swporta.trogan. i followed nav instruction's + jus deleted, it didn't manage 2 spread. any way several ininstalls of aol l8er it still didn't work, every time i opened aol it said "installin network adapter files plaese wait" + wouldn't conect properly untill the 3rd dial up when it conected so i could only read email's.
thursday i rang aol for most of the day trying various "fixes". in the end they decided 2 ignore there computer screen's + get some cleaver bloke 2 ring me. i had 2 make an apointment for sunday @ earliest i said sod it + made the apointment.
sunday mornin the bloke rang + did some more trouble shooting. he evently said it was the computer + the wan network drivers + 2 reinstall window's.
monday i rang argos (were i got my computer from) they gave me a number 4 HP, which i rang, who gave me a premium rate 60p a min line 2 ring.
i said bugger that + rang argos agon who put me through 2 some outher pc company. the bloke there said wan adapter's had nothing 2 do wid aol conectin 2 the internet + that it woz crap.
tuesday i tried a non destructive system recovery which reinstalls all xp component's (suposedly) whole keepin all user info etc.
it didn't make any diference so i backed up all data + did a destructive install (clean's harddrive + installs all computer defalt program's like new from factory)
it worked!!!!!!!
i'm now in the process of downloadin all updates + fixes from windows update + nav as well as installin all software again.
