Computer help urgent


I just ran Comodo Registry Cleaner and then Malware Bytes. When I restarted the computer all the text was programming language!

Anyone have any idea on how to get the text back to English?

Running Windows Vista.

Try popping in a Rosetta Stone disk and letting it run!

Will probably have to do that. But at least I can still get everything off the hard drive as its most likely a fault in the program that converts text to a common language and so everything will work on another computer.

If you boot to the repair menu, select system restore, and choose a date prior to the changes. It should just restore your registry to a time before you had a problem.


You may need the system (install) disk or try F8 during boot.

Comodo axes more in the Reg than needed. Used it several times w/ bad results

Use CCleaner and you'll never look back.
