Apparently it removed the toolbar..but not all of its stuff. So..it was doing wierd things to my computer. Anywayz it was still operatable..though...so i just left it as it be. Then...last night I came a cross it on my toolbar settings..so i tried to right click and delete it and ....then...(Hell fell over) it restore itself or something on o my intermet toolbar under yahoo, google...etc.
So I decided to do a restore....just to fix that for the time being. So ...Start, all programs , accessories, system tools, system restore...and choose my restore point...which I choose like a week before. (i know this aint gonna fix the STUPID MIRAR Toolbar) (but just for the time being) well the restore did its thing...than...I guess it configured it to back to the point i choose ..but as it go to this black scree ..I assume is my BIOS screens...recognizing...whats on my computer...

at the bottom it says ...press delete to...go to setup (something like that ) and Alt F2....
that's it....it just sat there...so...i manual restarted my computer...hit the reset button...

If you cannot enter the BIOS Setup you are going to have to open the computer and clear your CMOS.
Depending on the motherboard this is done by either using a jumper or if none is provided then removing the battery for a few minutes then replacing it.
this is an similar of what my screen looks lik when i restart my computer
just my computers info and on the bottom part where it says
Press f2 to enter SETUP ....
It says ....hit delete to....and ALT F2 to...
I will try and get the exact info for you ...to help me better
I appreciate you trying to help me....
