Ok...I know I'm going to sound totally clueless and/or brain-dead, but I'm having serious problems and have been using CCleaner since October 09.
Beginning after the Christmas holidays, I started getting numerous errors, but can't find the cause; I checked the restore option in CCcleaner, but there are so many registry entries in the "restore" file that I don't know which or how many I should actually try to restore in order to get my pc back in working order. And when I do click on an entry, I'm not sure what happens next.
I'm plagued with RUNDLL errors, System 32 errors, missing modules, lost audio/sound, lost Recovery Partition and HP Application Recovery. I've spent hours reading online how to repair "this and that" but nothing works. I've run various malware and spyware programs, but nothing indicates a problem. I have the original cd's that came with my pc, but the "E" drive won't recognize them. I tried to do a total restore from the hd, and provided the necessary product key but received a message that the restore "could not continue".
It's only 3 years old and used mostly to store photos, send/receive email and check online news websites. So, tell me...is my pc totally toasted?
