Read & Run Me First/ Read but unable to run

Ok guys this isnt your regular "run of the mill" type of problem, Im an experienced user who fixes the averge users computers as a side job. That being said I am running Vista Home and picked up a trojan of some kind while retrieving a torrent; more specifically Lock Folder 9.0.
This trojan unlike any Ive seen before. Safe mode will run and show the desktop for about a minute or so and then abrubtly shut itself down. So this is the time frame im allowed in safe mode...thus you see my problem. Ive tried a few other tricks with no avail. I can get the command prompt up but rstrui.exe wont execute...any suggestions guys? I really dont want to fresh install.

Solution

Ive found a solution and I would like to pass it on to others that may be reading and having the same problem. With tenacious research ive come to believe that I have contracted a Brontok virus (root-kit). Since the rootkit crippled the OS kernel and took it over, restarting when in safe mode, disabling msconfig etc. there is no other option but to use another OS or a BootCD to scan and clean the drive. Knoppix Linux and UBCD4Win or even Hiren's BootCD are invaluble tools for this case. A quick seach with the afforementioned names should bring up some mirrors for you, so thanks for the help?
