If the file is in the wrong place ...it's a virus ...

You could try a repair install to get you up and running again, but you will still have the problems ...so read the above and try to do as much as you can.

Repair install ...boot from cd ....enter to install ....f8 to agreement ..when it finds the previous install, choose R for repair...

 

Can you boot into safe mode?

 

What kind of puter are we talking about ...desktop or laptop ...system spec.'s ..os, ram, etc. ....can you slave the drive to another puter?

What is the exact error message?

 

No ....not easily and would need special cables ....

Is the computer part of a domain or network ....any usb stuff attached?

What was the error message? and does it shut down by itself or just sits there waiting for a password? Or do you put in your password and then you get the error?

Can you hit cntr+alt+del at the login screen and get access to task manager?

 

1. Install the drive in another desktop as a slave.

2. Copy all "Security" files from D:/Windows/repair into D:/Windows/System32/config .

3. The drive should now boot again, but since you originally had a password at login time, all files under "My Documents" came back as "Not accessible" when trying to access them.

4. To recover the "Not accessible" files -- all your documents! -- Download and run PC Inspector File Recovery (free from MG's) which workes great.

 

That means if isn't a virus ...it's a corrupt file that will not let you into the computer unless you do a complete reformat and reinstall ...(loss everything).

You'll need to do what I posted as to slaving it and copying the security folder ...we need to fix it first before worrying about your login profiles and documents.

To slave the drive ....open the side of your case and unplug the power and ide cable to the hard drive. (THIS is after you have unplugged the computer from the power strip or surge protector ...OFF).

Open the other computer (not the laptop) and after looking at the hard drive and seeing the settings to move the jumper to the slave position ...attach it to the middle connection on that computers IDE cable ...attach power to it and then boot up.

Sorry ....posted at the same time ...yes, another desktop.

 

If you slave the hard drive....the computer will see it ....and all your files and folders on the drive ....you could copy critical documents to a removable media (cd) if you want to be extra cautious ....then copy the repair folder to the sys. 32 folder as directed and all should be good to put the drive back into the original computer ...should fire right up.

 

No ....that is a file on your hard drive ....it has the files you need for your computer ....when you slave the hard drive, it will be recognised by the other system and assigned a drive letter ...could be D, G, F ....you just need to explorer to that drive, and down to that file, right click / copy ....scroll to the sys. 32 config file and paste.
