Thanks everyone for the help. The computer is up and running. Alles van die beste !!

Geez, I looked all over for something like that. Thanks for your research ! When I get the pwr supply back in I'll give it a try.

The switch is a single block in the front of the machine along with audio and usb within. They all have their own...

I agree. Windows ran many times with startup repair, and failed continually. It would have been successful except for the bad boot entry. System restore failed as well as all other options.

My apologies. It was a post from Microsoft Answers, not Virtual Dr.
The response from Windrivers and VirtualDr were both rapid and important as I was in a real quandry. Thanks again.

I did end up using the Bootrec.exe per microsoft.

bcdedit /export c:\BCD_Backup
c:\
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /RebuildBcd

It was suggested to me by a...

My error. The problem is in the BCD boot configuration data which is a replacement for the old boot.ini in Windows 7. BCDedit works with it but is entirely indecipherable to me. EasyBCD has no way to...

It's the MBR since this is Windows 7. I don't know how to edit out the change.
I wish it was boot.ini, then I could clear it up in Notepad ! I wish Windows had a better idea !
I can continue...

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.
I was attacked by TDSS and removed it with the Norton Removal Tool. However the computer would not get to the login after that. System restore would not restore...

I am working on an XP computer that has been upgraded to Windows 7 professional...it has a windows.old directory.

What I cannot do...

I tried last known good configuration twice with absolutely no luck. then I called Brad and he used his fingerprint reader (lucky), to get into safe mode, but the keyboard still would not work even...

Thanks for replying. It still needs a password to get into the safe mode as well. He will be over this afternoon and can probably get in with the fingerprint ID.
I did back up the registry when I...

I edited the registry to get rid of some webroot remains as it would not uninstall. Now I cannot get into Vista. That is to say the password access comes up, but I cannot type into it..nothing...

Thanks for the message. If I need to I will certainly use combofix.

I'd like to try combofix but have seen a warning about it damaging the o/s.
I tried safe mode but had no luck. I will certainly rename the files and try to install that way. I'll try it tomorrow...

This malware will not allow me to install or ran any anti-malware product.

RESOLVED. I don't know how to close this out.
Anyway I actually did a reinstall with a slipstreamed XP with sp2 on it. I got it into the cd using Barts PE. It is running better than ever and...

The power strip was used to shut everything down but the lone computer that was not attached to a printer.

I can only assume that the cable modem also had router capabilities as when the network was restored, both computers received the internet.
I am still wondering how the network was restored.

I was called to find out why a network was not running.
It was a cable modem connected to a switch. From the switch 0ne cable (all were ethernet ) was connected to a lone computer. One other was...

I could not right click on the bar..in fact I could do nothing.

My wife was running her computer, probably nudged a few keys and now has this problem. The same thing has happened to me, but I forgot how I repaired it.
Folder tasks, other places and details are...

Actually, dead right, but it's going to be a new computer.

:thumbs: Only thing that would work was a system restore including ntfs format. Lost all the old programs. Ran a disk checking program and the disk had read verify and linear seek errors. This caused...
