I need some computer help

    Topic Starter


    Beginner

    ok here it goes, I tryed to download a game but it said i needed utorrent program so i downloaded that but utorrent changed most of my programs on my computer so when i clicked on them they tryed to opened with utorrent.


    I went to controll panel and tryed to uninstall utorrent but when i clicked yes on uninstall button nothing happened. Then i just went to utorrent folder and clicked delete and emptyed it from rec bin.  My bad!  :-[


    When i try to open most programs a screen pops up and asks what program do you want to use to open this file?


    Is there any way i can get my computer back to normal? ??? If anyone knows please help me!

    Well, let me put it this way....
    You make some moves of which you don't have enough knowledge (like removing program folder in order to get rid of some program), and you're surprised there are some bad consequences.
    How about asking, first?

    What Windows version is it?

                I'm happy for you, too.
                Did you actually run System Restore?
