I'll just leave my laptop on until you get back to me.....
So yeah, right now I actually do need someone who knows their way around Group Policy settings(and not just for preventing virus/malware) and know a way to fix what I borked(that spelling is intentional :P) up.....
Wait, I think I just found the solution! We shall see after a restart....
It works!, I had to go into Device Manager and update the driver for each one that had a problem thanks to said policy. Restarted and laptop seems to be functioning like it should.
Sorry for the dramatic scene....heehee....
Anyways, now I know NOT to delete that rule if I am to continue and use Group Policy Settings as a measure of defense......
So very glad you were able to locate what was wrong with your computer. Sometimes the person who is on the computer everyday is the best at diagnosing the problems. Also, sorry it took so long and that I had no knowledge in tech details to help expedite your time here.
I suppose all in all it was a learning process and that you gained in research skills and computer repair.
I would like to comment on something
First, Juliet is a SHE and I did not do anything wrong in extending out and asking other techs in trying to help locate your problem on your machine. This is something all malware techs do to help all victims in need. While unsuccessful in reaching my goal in getting you help from someone who might have an idea what was wrong, who took the time trying to research anything that could cause this, LDTate gave you the best suggestions found to help.So Juliet was wrong then to have referred me to a forum that has absolutely no knowledge of GPS? Perhaps he just googled for forums and happen to find this on the first page and thought this pace might know a thing or two about it... Actually, does anyone here even know Juliet from that Spybot forum...? Or is this really some random forum the guy picked from a google search? Heh
WE were trained and certified in malware removal. While I think there might be other training facilities or schools that teach or help in the internals of computers, I didn't take that course. Therefor, I reached out seeking help for YOU.
And if you would, and you don't have to of course, please check my profile at WTT of which I help in malware removal at this forum too. (Yes they know me)

Ooops, I just remembered I forgot to attach the fixlog.txt, well here it is: Fixlog.txt
You're a she?! Sorry, I always presume any person I talk to on the internet is a guy until said 'guy' comes out and tell us he is actually a she or something else. Heh.
Well I appreciate the help, thanks.
Hm okay....
Done

Oh the Delfix deleted itself Is that suppose to happen?
I'm guessing you don't know what GDI Objects are either or and have no experiences/knowledge about them?
Also:
So have you asked other techies of this or haven't yet? Otherwise I guess I'll just go post on another forum and ask these questions....along with the other questions before this that you don't seem to have the knowledge to answer.
Wow gee, you must have a lot of time on your hands to kill if you're volunteering your time to help others! Wish I had lost of time to kill so I can do it too(to further improve my knowledge/experiences of virus/malware fighting) as well as doing IRL stuff to play video games and watch stuff.....ahhh if only I could pause time........or at least somehow extend my time whilst I'm awake(and sleeping too I guess because I sometimes have nice dreams that I don't want to be awaken from....)...
So I don't waste more of your time on me that could have been better spent on helping more important matters like other people who need more help than me because they're seriously infected or something and you helping me on probably tricial matters that I can look into myself is one person down....
That was suppose to be amended to the last post but of course I cannot edit my posts.... -.-
I have asked like I said I would. One person did reply back and that it would have to wait till after he was back from vacation.So have you asked other techies of this or haven't yet? Otherwise I guess I'll just go post on another forum and ask these questions....along with the other questions before this that you don't seem to have the knowledge to answer.
