My Home Computer will not unfreeze!!

[catmandu]

And I cannot unfreeze it to get the Computer back to a safe date.
It just sits there not moving.
Is there anyone who knows Computers who can help an Old Cat Man???

What happens if you just shut it off and turn it back on?

[katladyd]

If you shut it off and then restart your computer, and press F8 while it is starting up, you will (if your computer is anything like mine) go into Safe Mode. You can then go into either Settings, then into Control Panel. You will see System on the menu and click on System Restore, which should be a tab on the top of the box. From System Restore, you will see a calendar and you click on a date from say, a week ago, before the trouble started, and your computer will go back to how it was on that date. If you have picked up a virus, which this sounds like, it will take the computer back to a date before you got the virus and your computer should be fine. If this doesn't work, you can always call someone, a tech guy, and they can come out and fix it. This sounds fairly simple, Gary, and shouldn't cost a lot. Good luck.

I have always found if I can get through the bad times, wonderful things start to happen. I do hope that is the case with you. You are having more than your share of tough times right now. Know that you have friends here who care for you. That is more than a lot of people have. Hang in there, okay?
