I add my name to the list of those who cannot fathom precisely what it is
you're trying to explain. Please read it back to yourself before you hit
"Send", imagining you're one of us.
Typos and poor English we can often (but not always) work around. Your
*explaining* skills, however, need brushing up. Eg: "...from the support
pages and under the re instal windows installer i followed the steps to
locate h key msconfig and regedit etc", "following the steps for verifying
location regedit modify image path etc". By all means "keep it short", but
not at the expense of clearly providing information. The links Malke
provided will certainly help you in this.
My advice to you would be: if you've paid for a professional repair (and you
haven't explained what was wrong with), and your PC is now "broken" in a way
in which it wasn't before, then you should go back to the repairers for
redress.
