Hello my name is Gringoyle

Let me start from the very begining, I was play Ever Quest 2 when my key board started acting up i found that it was my mouse, when my mouce was in movement the keyboard was inop so if was to use the (W,A,D,S) keys to navigate than use the mouce to move the cursor i would stop movment.

So I decided to test the mouce in safe mode, I and made a big mistake by using msconfig to do so. Well it started an endless loop of chrashing when windows would boot causing the loop to start over. I can however use F8 still which i did to to try and repair my system, it recommended that I use the recovery, that had failed. I than used the F8 last knowen good configuration option to start windows and I am running again, I than when to change the settings in msconfig i had made but i am unable to. When in msconfig under the general tab the "Selective Startup" is selected, under the boot tab the options are normal, safe mode is not selected. However if I select the Normal Startup option under the general tab the safe mode box becomes check under the boot tab and if I uncheck the safe boot box, the Selective Startup option is than selected again under the general tab.

And my dang mouce is still causing the keyboard to be inop when in use.

Thank for any advice you fellas can offer me,
Gringoyle

I do not believe this is an infection so I'm moving it to the Windows 7 forum
I know little about Windows 7 If you scroll to the bottom of this page you will see how to repair it, I believe

I used the windows 7 disk to access command prompt, but the the command "ren C:\Boot.ini Boot.ini.bak" tells me that the file name cant be found
It looks like this form the windows disk X:\Source>ren C:\Boot.ini Boot.ini.bak I also tryed changing the X:\Source> to
C:\>ren C:\Boot.ini Boot.ini.bak

I hope this is not to ambiguous to understand
