Does anybody have a backup image of their Dell mini 1012 with win xp sp3 home? Long story short, I was just browsing the internet and a pop up came up and loaded spyware. (antimalwaredoctor or something like that showed up in automatic updates) So then my computer restarted and now I have like long loading times. My win xp theme has been set to classic. I can't run system restore. I tried to start the service but I get error 1083 (on every other service too). My sound drivers and all other drivers seem to be deleted as well. Does anyone have an hd image to provide for me please?

I don't think "pirated" software can be posted here, so you probably won't get what you're asking for.

Pirated? No I don't want the windows xp disc. Maybe I should restate the question. I want my computer back to the factory image along with factory settings

EDIT: Ah! I found what seems to be a Hidden recovery option by pressing ctrl+f11. The restore got me back to the factory image. Problem solved.

I'm glad you figured it out.
