Today, I installed a program called "Komado" (Komado), which was supposed to be a program used in combination with an iOS app to act as a secondary monitor. After installing I noticed there were over 100 instances of Java and CMD running in the background. So, to save time, i just restarted the computer to close them all. After restarting, an error window saying "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" in the title and something along the lines of "NVVSVC.exe has been terminated" (this is an executable for my NVIDIA video card, I understand that) at the log in screen of Vista. I shrugged it off as a normal error I've run into that fixes itself and proceeded to log in. After logging in, I noticed my audio was muted and I could not unmute it or even open the volume mixer, and also my network icon showed up as "Undefined. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation." I found this strange, because I have over 100 Gb left on my main drive and about 600 Gb on my second drive, and I have the maximum amount of RAM possible for a 32-bit Vista install (3.325 Gb it says). So, taking the easy way out, I opened system restore to revert back to an earlier time. When I opened system restore It said in the window "System Restore does not appear to be functioning correctly on this system. Not enough storage is available for this operation (0x8007000E)." As if that is not frustrating enough, every time I try to uninstall a program, it shows a message saying "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your..." This happens to every program, not just one. Also, if I go to system in the control panel, it says "Not Available" for both Processor and Memory.
Anyway, I managed to do a system restore through recovery mode to remove that Komodo software, but the problem of everything mentioned above is still persisting.
So far I've done scans with both AVG and MalwareBytes, but both have not found anything linked to this problem.
Here are my computer's specs:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (SP2)
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core @3.2 Ghz (Wolfdale)
RAM: 4 Gb installed (3.325 Gb recognized by the OS)
Mobo: Dell Inspiron 530
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
Please, someone help.
