I'm running the system file checker with the command sfc /scannnow to see if there's a corrupted file problem.Īny help to fixing the problem or restoring my computer to it's previous state would be helpful. So I can't restore to the working state either… It might be possible that Avast thought the system restore files were corrupt and that's what I deleted, that's just a theory.

I ran System Restore again and this time I didn't get the disabled service error, but now it tells me that no restore points have been created, which doesn't make sense because Windows should make them regularly. So I thought I'd run a system restore, but the service for that was disabled, so I enabled the Volume Shadow Copy service (if I had to enable something else too, let me know). So I'm assuming I deleted something important, which doesn't make sense if the files I deleted were corrupted (the OS couldn't use them anyway). When my computer booted up, all the services were disabled (as a result of this, the taskbar looks like the old Win98 gray task bar). A couple of files came up as corrupted, and so I deleted them. I was trying out the antivirus program Avast and I ran the boot time scan feature, where it scans your computer during the boot process, before viruses have a chance to initialize.
