Re: White screen and corrupt programs and drivers

Hello. I am having severe problems with my computer. During the boot
process the screen turns pure white (notice i say white and not black)
and
remains white after windows has successfully booted. You will
probably ask me how i can see the screen clearly if it is white. The
answer is that if the notebook screen is tilted at 30 degrees or less
i can see (BARELY AND
NOT WITHOUT STRAINING MY EYES!!!) Anyway, that is only the beginning
of my
problems! My graphics card driver and adobe software has gone corrupt
and closes after popping up an error message box. Message says
"program has encountered an internal error and will now close" or
something similar. Also, norton antivirus 2005 worm signatures are
corrupt and do NOT get repaired or updated! I have tried many times
with liveupdate but with no
success. . I am suspecting some kind of virus or spyware infection
that corrupts my programs and goes undected by norton av2005 and other
free online scanners! By the way, my computer was working perfectly a
few days ago and it seems very strange that so many programs including
my video card
driver STOP WORKING OVERNIGHT!!!! I have already contacted norton
but i would like additional information if anybody knows of any such
virus or spyware.

While there is no way for me to know if your computer is
virus/malware-free, it is extremely unlikely that these problems are
caused by software. Rather it sounds like hardware failure. Since you
have a laptop, the troubleshooting you can do yourself is limited. Call
your laptop mftr.'s tech support.
