Guest jzach Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I had a Lavasoft product running on my laptop. It went haywire and started blocking programs. I uninstalled it. Now, I can't load new software or even make changes to the clock. It changed some of the Icons on programs. I do not have a restore CD. Any ideas how to restore the old image? -- jz

The thing to do now is re-install the product...then look at the settings and "unblock" whatever it was that was dis-allowed.

Guest jzach Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Re: Windows 2000 Professional problems I tried to reinstall but it didn't reinstall. Everything is still blocked. Is there some way to restore the original settings other than from a restore disc? Or is there a way to find a restore disc for 2000 professional? Any advise would be appreciated. -- jz "philo" wrote: > > "jzach" <jzach@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:E63169D4-2121-4CF1-81C5-3C963EF914A3@microsoft.com... > > I had a Lavasoft product running on my laptop.
