[dba-Tech] Lost my CD-Rom

You really should have it on. 

Typically if there is a worm/virus or spyware cached in the system restore
points then you would purge the System Restore, clean off the problem and
then, when the system is clean, turn System Restore back on.

To purge it you simply turning it off. Then restart the PC. After you run
through an anti-virus/spyware cleaner then turn it back on.

System restore is a GOOD thing for the average computer user. Its just that
it can also store bad things.

System Restore's turned off -- I had to do that about 2 years ago when I
caught a worm that absolutely nothing could find and delete -- it was in the
Restore file and the only way to stop reinfecting myself was turn off the
feature.

Susan,
If you are using WinXP try System Restore. Copy and paste this into the run
command line and it will pop up: %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

Restore to a point where the CD worked (yesterday, the day before whatever.)

If that doesn't work let us know.
