hi guys, i've had an absolute nightmare weekend so far and we're only half way through it!
Here's what's happened...
on thursday i was doing a virus scan and clean up of the laptop, (i know on the day of a gig isnt ideal however i didnt have time during the week) Avast detected one threat, removed it and then said that i needed to restart my computer to take effect... so... i restarted and got the message windows was unable to start, launch startup repair.. did that and said that it was unable to recover a serious error had occured. so instead of fu*king about i switched my drivebay hdd into my other laptop and went to the gig with that. (luckily it ran ok for the night).
once i got home i put my dvd drive back in and ran the recovery disc, only to find that it tells me that windows cannot recover. its now 5am on friday morning and i have a gig in 14 hours, my day job in 4 hours and i'm starting to panic. I called microsoft and they told me that the only option was to do a fresh install of windows ( i would like to add that the customer service was second to none! very helpful and he called me back half an hour later once it had re-installed and re-activated my product key for authorisation.)
all seemed well, and i ran last night with it, allbeit with an extra cdj set up with a mix cd in and the backup laptop switched on ready for me to switch to if i ran into a problem. everything went well and i had an absolutely brilliant gig, the busiest night we've had for months.
this morning when i switched on my laptop to look back over my playlist i get two error boxes showing up on my desktop after an hour or so, one says : "efm sys file corrupt, rmorsm.dll not registered" and the other i've forgotten :P i went onto the windows 7 forums and found someone that had a similar issue and they said that run a "SFC /SCANNOW Command" which will apparently find and fix any issues, i did that and it did not find anything wrong.
Any ideas??
I'm also experiencing much shorter battery life and the fan seems to be running all the time...
sorry for the essay i'm just a bit worried and want to get this sorted as soon as possible.
cheers.
edit: i forgot to add i'm playing tonight and tomorrow also, and have a gig on tuesday i really need to get this sorted.
