For your display though you'll want to head here:

Umm, what commands? First off you'd check your system for malware - there's
clear directions on the site. Secondly you'd then want to use the registry
file that's included on the second link to Kelly's site. When you download
that one and open it it will ask you if you want to merge the information
and you will say yes.
