Hello,
I have been trying to figure this out on my own but can't seem to find a way. The problems began when I declined to allow a program I didn't recognize to "make changes to my computer" when I received a popup I didn't recognize. I run Windows 8. Ever since that I can no longer make any changes to my computer, I can't run downloaded programs, I can't run a system restore, etc. Sometimes I can work around this and do some of these things if I reboot in safe mode, but even that doesn't allow me to make some changes.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. A fix that doesn't involve me needing to reinstall my OS would be nice, as that seems to be the advice I'm getting from a couple local techs I know who I've had conversations with.
