Okay, well.. I feel really, really dumb. Basicly I downloaded a torrent, which had Alcohol in it, I had Alcohol on my laptop which has win 7 so i fully trusted it. So I installed it, and a window popped up, I just click continue anyway, as i said i fully trusted it, then BAM. Windows had to close because of a problem etc.

So basicly I tried uninstalling it but it just gives an error msg then blue screen apears sooner or later (even in safe mode)

So i've bee reading about how people have vista disks etc. To boot from them? I'm new to this sort of thing, sorry. But I don't have the vista disk, I most likely will have win 7 if the disk comes with your computer and may have a XP disk if they would work..


Couls someone please reply, i'm scared I have really messed my computer up and worried if it will ever work again.

Best regards.

Jamie.

Well downloading from torrent sites opens you up to all types of virus/keyloggers/trojans etc etc so realy you only have yourself to blame, as we have no idea what else was included with Alcohol when you downloaded there is nothing i can realy suggest other than you format your hard drive and re install your OS

Totally right as far as it is downloaded from its official site. If it isn't then you do it at your own risk, we can offer no support in this case as Phoenix said.
