Just Installed BC stops responding on start-up then closes.

[Mikesteam1234]

So here's my story. I recently took my computer into best buy (geek squad) to have it fixed. Utorrent was installed at the time as well as a few games I had pirated. They seemed to remove Utorrent, I thought "oh no big deal I'll just re-install." Well when I went to install Utorrent again the installer would stop responding after a reached a certain part in the installer. The same goes for bittorrent. So I decided to get Bitcomet thinking its always worked in the past. Though I was able to install BC. Only to find out it stops responding upon starting up the program. I've disabled my firewall anti-virus and everything else I can think of without effect. I have no idea whats going on as I have also looked through the registry thinking they might have changed something (Im am no where near being an expert) but I came up with nothing. PLEASE HELP, I can't find a solution any where and no one else seems to have this problem.

Thanks for you time!

Did you have some form of malware removed?

What exactly did they do to your computer?

From what I heard they fixed my registry, about 500 errors they said.

sounds like they caused a few new ones. I won't try to guess what the original problem was, but if you cannot even install something as simple as a bittorrent client, then you have a serious problem. I'd return and ask them to fix it or give you a refund.

In most cases after someone was trying to fix a problem like this and failed, it's best to just reformat and reinstall windows. You can probably find a hungry geek at your local college or technical school that is willing to do the work for you. I'd say $50 should feed a hungry geek for a week or so and get you a fully working computer, or you can get a windows setup disc and tackle the job yourself.

ps. I'd try to contact one of the professors and ask for a referral to a student who is qualified. You'd probably get much better service than geeksquad offers and you'd be helping a struggling student at the same time.
