I know this isn't really relevant to Halo but my computer suddenly refuses to boot. It will show one screen lke normal but then there'll be a blank page with a flashing underscore in the top left corner. I'm using another computer to type this. I think the problem was caused by me downloading a keygen yesterday, but my antivirus was up.
Anyone know any way for me to recover? |
