Maybe these guys are coming out of their holes....everyone beware. I've
cleaned a lot of it up except there are always those deep one. I think this
user is locked out to "limited", by permissions or crapware, in XP Pro. I
can't open the registry as it won't locate regedit anywhere on the drive.
Hidden and system files are supposed to be displayed but no file endings are
displayed, so something is locking it out. There is a lot of stuff running
TSR but it does not show up anywhere as it runs out of memory quickly.
I am going to try SFC if I can get back into the DOS prompt. Has anyone
tried to run a repair from the Run line?

got another laptop? try pulling the drive and formatting it in another
machine. you will need to remove the bios password before you can do
too much though.

Well....talk about coincidence.....I was in the same bushes today and

a fairly new Toshiba with exactly the same problem(s) and more. I cannot
boot to safe mode(locks up checking services), can't even get to setup.
Have
tried F1,F2, F10, Del, and with the FN key but no joy. Will not boot to CD
and has no FDD.
It was a hand-me-down from another employee who passworded the BIOS.
This thing just sits there and generates ads. Looks like Excel in page
tile
mode. Can't install most anti spyware, just locks up. Will not go to web.
Just want to reformat if I can figure a way to get into the BIOS and force
a
CD boot. Any ideas would be great.
