Cannot load Windows
I recently noticed that a bunch of files (viruses) were
popping up on my Dad's computer, so I attempted to get rid of them and did so, for most of them. But, there appeared to be one using a DLL that loaded with all the Explorer windows so it ran it everytime I opened one of them. I attempted to get rid of it by installing anti- virus, but it had not detected it. And I scanned with a spyware program only to notice that one of the registry keys was changed. Now, I don't remember what the registry key was, but it had a %1 in it and it had been changed to just the % in the value of the key. So I attempted rebooting the computer only to have it go all the way to the main screen, but only the cursor shows up along with the background. All the other things such as taskbar, desktop icons, etc. do not load. Now I know its because of that registry value. I attempted going into Safe Mode to change the value, but even in safe mode, it does the same thing. I re-installed Windows ME a bunch of times in attempt to thwart this problem, only to have the installation give me errors, which baffled me. I was wondering if there was some weird way to get into Windows besides SafeMode or using the BootDisk which only gives you a command prompt, so thats no help. Please help! |
