gillian7117 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I did a defrag and ran spybot on my friends pc. Now he tells me that when he tries to go on web he gets told that the sa engine is missing. He cant do a system restore as it wont allow him to do it. What do we do? do i need to download an sa engine? Any help is realy apriciated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 SA is normally the "system administrator" in XPHas you friend set up a "normal account", rather than the main admin account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillian7117 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 He hasnt changed anything on his pc, I just asked if he changed the admin account/logon whatever... but he said he didnt do anything to anything. After I did defrag and spybot he played a racing game went on the web then he turned it off and on and when he tried to go web it said the sa engine was missing!!?? Thats all that happened. Its been set up for months but had never been defragd or checked for adware/spyware, thats why i did it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 start spybot and go to the "recovery section" and see if there is anything there that may have been removedDid you carry out an adaware scan as well? If so reverse that as well and see if it goes back to normalIf the above does go back to normal then you know what to doGo through scans one by one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
