oh my god im so stupid!!!!! please someone I downloaded alcohol 120% (uses ISO files) and when i was installing it warned me that it wanted to install adriver but i had downloaded alcohol 120 on another comp and it was fine! THIS IS BAD!!! it keeps going into the fatal error screen and rebooting on and endless cycle because whenever i log back in it immediately tries to reinstall the driver! please this is my new laptop and if my parents find out that i did something to mess it up i am royally screwed... PLEASE HELP ME is there anything that i can do on my own that is easy which would not require me telling anyone but would resolve the problem?:cry: please help me...

lol calm down, first start in safe mode, then do a virus scan and get rid of the virus. and if that fails just format your computer. and this is why you read comments before downloading, no offence.

yeah, but just wait until other people post there idea's maybe they know something i dont. I got an idea though, if you go back to where you downloaded the file from read the comments and see what peoples reaction are. maybe someone else got the virus and found a way to get rid of it, also if you can try and keep the computer open long enough to get the viruses name.

dude chill, you cant think properly if your all stressed and you got people who are willing to help. now if you dont have a installation CD here is an idea download another operating system on your desktop then burn it and wipe your harddrive on your laptop then reinstall. may i recommend vista 32 bit ultimate editon. http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/1128972/Windows_Vista_Ultimate_Edition_x86_Oem_Permanently_Actived_Edition

now i know downloading is the last thing you wana do right now but trust me i have this it works fine download it and install on hard drive. oh and make sure your drive is formated NTS first otherwise it doesn't work.

Wow, dude, no, not a good idea. First off, NOT going to go unmodded for that, good luck with that suspension you are about to get. Also, TorrentSpy is logged now, don't use it. Finally, download LINUX, so you don't break any laws and get modded. DO NOT LISTEN TO FILMOGRAPHY.

But yeah, don't worry. Download Ubuntu, wipe the drive, then you can run Ubuntu untill you get everything figured out.

Pretty much, don't worry about it. Just a computer. Worst case scenario is you have to buy Windows XP/Vista.
