Windows 7 corrupted?

[Dante Wolfe]

So I recently been having a windows issue since I reformatted . My Microsoft Explorer doesn't work. As soon as I open it up it stops responding, cant do anything and get then get the "internet explorer has stop working a problem cause the program to stop working currently windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" Interesting thing is SKYPE doesn't open up either. same resaults. When I try to install flash player on the pc doesnt download. it runs in the backround and stops all processing. I had to install adobe plugin for firefox to get it to kinda work. but now this is effecting my gaming too. I just recently bought final fantasy reborn from steam due to sale and its not working.. Im thinking this is all leading from the same issue.. IS my windows 7 fucked up?

Well yes it is fucked up, what do you mean by reformatting, do you mean you reformatted the drive if so yes it likely corrupted the OS and you should reinstall

If he re-formatted the drive with an OS on it there would be no OS left to be corrupted............

Try running malwarebytes before you do anything - https://www.malwarebytes.org/

I was assuming a partial reformat (reformating a partition or something along those lines), either way my advice remains the same

Yea if you actually reformatted the whole drive there would be nothing left on the drive. If you partially formatted a partition then you corrupted your windows instillation. Try reinstalling some of the programs that aren't working and you can try running an Antivirus but honestly it doesn't sound like that would help. Your still be better off reinstalling windows 7 or if you still have the product key you could upgrade to windows 10.

Make sure to back up all of your data that is important to you.

And he said he reformatted a partition on his OS drive where?  Oh, thats right he didn't.   All we know is he formatted SOMETHING, we don't know what yet, so telling him to do a full re-install when you don't even know what he did is jumping the gun a bit.

 

And some people refer to a re-install of Windows as "reformatting" simply because a misunderstanding of the terms.  I've seen it many times before.  Until he clarifies what has led to this situation, theres no reason to tell him to do a full re-install based on assumptions.

You could have used your first post for something productive rather than just ignoring the OPs question completely and leaving a link for something he didn't ask for.........
