Hey, did you ever try those free online scans I suggested? If so, did they detect any threats ? Did you run your current anti virus in safe mode yet??

I just checked and I also have numerous vds files in my windows/system/32 folder. My Norton antivirus does not treat them as malicious. Once again, you should be ok. Is your system behaving strangely? If not, continue to press on.

I have looked at your files submitted and checked them out. According to what I have read, all of these files you have listed are normal within the windows operating platform. Nothing about any of your listed files have any virus threats attached to them. For your own peace of mind, do a...

Post script, those virus programs which only detect but do not allow full deletion of the quarantined item suck. One of those free online virus scanners which I suggested might allow for the actual deletion of detected item in addition to finding other virus intrusion locations. By the way, is...

Have you manually run a file search through windows for the exact file name vds.exe and see how many times it appears and where the locations are? If not, try that and delete all vds.exe files which appear which are not in the windows/system/32. Also , run your virus scan in safe mode...

Any vds.exe which appears outside of the windows/32/system is a high probability of virus intrusion. Temp folders and the like with vds.exe should be held in great suspicion . Delete them immediately. This is often used as a spoof mimicking an official Microsoft named file so that Trojan and...

Back up your important files on whatever storage device you have in mind. Do a fresh install of the os. After that, blast the storage device with the files with every anti virus program you have. If it comes back clean you can transfer them to your freshly installed operating system drive...

Drop the bomb and do a fresh install. Sometimes that is your only last and best method to get a clean running system again. I have done it in the past and so have many others. Nuke that system!

Back to your original post. No way should a windows installation screw up your bios. Wrong bios install or loosing power while updating the bios will screw it up.

Ok back again...... no joy at all it sounds like. That machine turns on and whatever lights light up do light? Do you hear your fan? You get no display at all. Man, I hope your motherboard did not get bricked. You did have a display after your windows installation failed. You had to have one...

Right now, Just do the remove and reinstall procedure for the cmos battery. No indication at the moment it needs to be replaced.

I have to boogie. Please update your progress or whatever your results on this thread. Maybe we can continue to try to help. So please do.

Yeah, you have to open up the lap top to get to the cmos battery.

That is strange. You have a dead paper weight for a computer right now...... right?let' hope you did not brick it with a bad bios update procedure. Let's see if we can get lucky. Remove the cmos battery from your lap top. Wait for a couple of minutes and reinsert it. All the time your lap...
