Then I was looking at windows task manager, in the system window and noticed that "safeboot" wasn't checked in the boot paths. So I checked it, and rebooted. Now the computer is stuck in an endless loop, and will not fully boot no matter what I do. I had to borrow a computer to send this message. It passes the blue HP screen with the basic setup okay, then briefly shows an option to load xp or something else, then goes to a screen with a message: "We are sorry for the inconveniance, but Windows did not load correctly blah could be something blah blah" I've tried every boot option on this screen. Under boot normally, it starts the xp windows screen, loads for a few seconds and then reboots back to the very start. I've tried a number of things, but can't break the loop. Anyway to change that safeboot setting? I expect I have it in safeboot mode, but since it won't load in that mode, it loops. Help. |

YES! - Said the drowning man.
On the initial boot screen there is an option for the HP recovery console, which will restore the system to as-shipped condition - No, thank you very much! But, the windows recovery console is an option on one of the screens I can get to, and it brings up the following three choices for system to restore: D:/miniNt D:/i368 C:/windows I will wait to follow your detailed instructions. When we get past this one, I want to make a mirrior image on an external USB drive. (No. Nothing is backed up.) Thanks, Doug |

Hi dhack
Good news with the Recovery Console. Let's try this: Boot up your computer & when prompted select the Windows Recovery Console. After you start the Windows Recovery Console, you should receive a message similar to this: QUOTE Microsoft Windows® Recovery Console The Recovery Console provides system repair and recovery functionality. Type EXIT to quit the Recovery Console and restart the computer. D:/miniNt D:/i368 C:/windows Which Windows Installation would you like to log on to (To cancel, press ENTER)? Select C:/Windows

Okay! That worked slick as silk. I can now boot again in normal mode with the new boot config. I still can't boot in safe mode.
I seem to have two boot configs to choose from now. I tried the old one once, and it seemed to hang after getting to the desktop and loading the icons and wallpaper. The new one seems to load faster than it has in a long time. That might be because I disabled some non-essential drivers from startup a few days before my latest mistake. The following files seem to be missing (per your earlier email): rdpdd.sys (there is an rdpdr.sys ?) sermouse.sys vgasave.sys (I'm using an HP optical USB mouse.) I have a brand new, untouched external USB drive that I would like to use for a backup at the earliest appropriate time. I also think my hard drive is overdue for defragging, although the scans say it is not that bad. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Doug What part of the World are you in? |

Hello dhack
I'm beginning to think that the only way to fix your Safe Mode issue is to do a Repair Installation, however for that you will need an XP Installation disk. But before that we can try one more thing. SFC.EXE to Repair System Files. For this to be successful however SFC.EXE will need access to a folder named i386. Could you confirm that your D drive (D:/) is your recovery partition. If so can you access it as there is an i386 folder there. Could you search your C drive (C:/) for the i386 folder. It may be hidden so do this: View Hidden Files & Folders To view Hidden Files & Folders do the following: Click Start Open My Computer Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options Select the View Tab Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option Click Yes to confirm Click OK Let me know how you go. I'm from that big island down under, by the way. -------------------- In training at MalWare Removal University

Logical drive D: I can look at the root directory. The i386 folder is there, but locked. If I click on it, I get a note from HP telling me not to mess with the restore directory.
There are a bunch of i386 files on the C: drive. Looks like I got a new one with the service pack 3 upgrade I did a couple of weeks ago. *** Microsoft beyond the screen, Kleptomania above the screen *** i386 C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Unzipped\PlayerPRO_5.10_Source\...

Hi dhack
Try this. Bare in mind that it may ask you to insert an installation disk. Click Start>Run, copy & paste the following into the Run box then click OK: sfc /scannow Let the program run until completion. It will exit without telling you anything. If this doesn't work the only other thing I can suggest (other than obtaining an XP Installation Disk & doing a Repair Install) is to see if your system has a repair or a non-destructive recovery option. This option will leave your programs and data intact while replacing all of the Windows files. Let me know how you go. -------------------- In training at MalWare Removal University

I ran the sfc - no problems, hitches or messages. Safe mode still not available.
I reran safekeyboot - no problems, no changes The report: Anything significant about those missing .sys files? I still can't get my hands on a distribution disk. There is an HP restore option that restores the operating system to as shipped condition, meaning about two service packs behind and a ton of software that would need to be installed and upgraded, and I don't exactly trust that my "data" would survive all that. I have the xp recovery console installed. I have an unused external hard-drive. HP wanted me to make recovery disks when the system was new. That utility is still available. I don't know what I would get if I tried using it now. Doug (I'm in California. Big difference in time zones.)

Hi dhack
I think I've exhausted all avenues on your Safe Mode issue other than a Repair Installation with an XP disk. QUOTE Anything significant about those missing .sys files? Those missing drivers would definitely be contributing to the problem. Doing a Repair Installation I believe would replace them. QUOTE HP wanted me to make recovery disks when the system was new. That utility is still available. I don't know what I would get if I tried using it now. You would get a copy of what is on your recovery partition. Maybe an option worth pursuing if you can still make the disks & using in conjunction with the Recovery Console. QUOTE There is an HP restore option that restores the operating system to as shipped condition, meaning about two service packs behind and a ton of software that would need to be installed and upgraded, and I don't exactly trust that my "data" would survive all that. That would probably fix the problem but as you say a lot of updating afterward. It's what's called a Non-Destructive Recovery, which means it wont destroy/delete any personal data. However having said that it would be wise to back up before trying anything like that. Other than that how is everything running? Could you post a new HJT log for me to have a look at please. -------------------- In training at MalWare Removal University

Things seem to be running well, except for the safeboot.
The bootconfig /rebuild seemed to speed things up and eliminate some delays.

Hi dhack
Just wondering if you ran the Norton Removal Tool in Post 9. QUOTE("jmw3") Symantec did not remove everything as it should. This is a common problem. To completely remove Norton Antivirus, Download and Run the Norton Removal Tool for your version of Windows. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...005033108162039 DownLoad for your version of Windows & save to your desktop as it says) Click on Norton Removal Tool and follow the instructions. There is a lot of Symantec/Norton entries in your log that should no longer be there. It actually appears you may have two Anti-virus programs running - Avira & Norton. This could be a cause of conflicts & system slow down. If you have not run it could you do so now please. Then click Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs & remove all instances of Norton Internet Security, if present. Fix HiJackThis Entries

Clean Up Now we need to clear out the programs we've been using to clean up your computer, they are not suitable for general malware removal and could cause damage if used inappropriately.

oops! Sorry, missed getting back to that Norton cleanup. It is done now. Followed all directions. Safeboot still not working. I have disabled several processes from starting up. They were identified as un-necessary and things seem okay. Can I get them out of the start up list? My system is Windows XP Home. My son thinks he can find his distribution disk for his laptop - Windows XP Multimedia. Would that work to boot from and run the config /r ?
