    Hi Everyone,

    I'm in the process of going through the cleaning process and everything has been fine so far. I was currently on the combofix phase and it detected a lot of root kit viruses so it needed to reboot. So I rebooted back into safe mode and it did its thing and printed out a long. Once it said I could close everything out I noticed the safe mode screen stayed black for a long time. I'm talking about 2 hours so I figured it froze.

    It didn't freeze, but I just had no screen except black so I control, alt, delete and then restarted from that menu after xlosing out one of the processes called CF something. It had some numbers behind it. Well I went to boot back into safe mode to run the next scan in the series of cleanings and now it loads all the drivers and comes up with press escpae for something, but safe mode for windows never opens.

    It just stays at the loading screen for safemode which list all the different driviers. I have tried to reboot and have tried it three times so far with no success. Any help would be great to figure out how to get into safe mode again. Thanks.

    If I can get this figured out I'll post logs soon

    Thanks

    JOsh

    Okay I did post my logs, but ended up creating another post as it was a seperate issue...at least in my mind. lol

    Here is the link to my post with the logs

    P.S. I got safe mode working again. After I got into normal mode and rebooted it let me go into safe mode.

    Please stay in that thread. It is still the same issue. You need to finish what I just now asked you to do.
