Morning all!
Its been a while since I have posted around here, hope you're all well
Just a quick question about my PC. Its running Windows 7 64bit. I restarted it, and just as it's about to boot into Windows, the little white line flashes in the top left hand corner and it says 'Missing Helper.' and thats all?!
I tried inserting my Windows 7 disc, and got into the boot menu and selected boot from CD/DVD Drive, it says press any key to boot from disc, so I do and still got the 'Missing Helper'!!!
I really don't understand this, fair enough if it cannot find a boot file in Windows but surely when I boot from disc it should be able to do that? It's like something has happened to my motherboard or something maybe?
I cannot get into Windows, so cannot get onto my desktop or anything like that. I removed my hard drive and put it in another PC, it worked fine and all the data is still on there, so must be a problem with Windows?
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
Adz
