<p>download and put it onto a CD and boot from it. I would check with [HelpOnThe.Net:</a> Tech Support Guy - Free help for Windows XP, Vista, 98, and more!](<a href=“http://www.techguy.com%5DHelpOnThe.Net:”>http://www.techguy.com). Register and post your question in Software.</p>

<p>How is it that you can’t reinstall your OS? You can always reformat.</p>
<p>Why do you need anything else?</p>
<p>firefox didnt do anything, and you can always reinstall as long as you have the cd, and you probably just downloaded a virus yourself while USING firefox, not because of firefox, because you were tricked into clicking a link or downloading a file</p>
<p>so in summary,
you probably caused this problem, not firefox</p>
<p>and UnleashedFury is right,
why do you need anything else?</p>
<p>No, I did research; it was firefox that caused it. I had to attempt reformatting about 20 times(probably more) before it finally worked. Also, what does it matter what I use my computer for? Some things in the browser(such as active x, java, and flash) weren’t working either.</p>
<p>…Not a chance Firefox interfered with reformatting. Sorry, but if you did it properly (off a bootable disk) there is simply no logical way Firefox could have interfered with it. I’d check your hard drive for issues.</p>
<p>You probably didn’t reformat correctly (or at all). </p>
<p>Reformatting your hard drive 20 times or more would take more time than this thread has existed for.</p>
