That’s a nice article. Thank you Mr. Langa…Also worth mentioning, is the fact that some malicious software (viruses, malware or some very intrusive explorer search bars), use the windows startup process to insert themselves into your OS.Those can sometimes identified by the File name (often jibberish), the file location (when a file name is ‘google–‘ and it’s located in ‘windowssystem32’, that’s not normal) or sometimes even the file’s properties page that can be used to make sure the file’s publisher/creator is a trusted company and who it should be.A good anti-virus can help you avoid all the above, but if you are stuck with a company-forced bad anti-virus that’s running without the latest updates, you’ll have to do something about it…Thatnks again for this, and all, your articles

??What happens when you try to start Windows??Zig

What happens is pretty much the same thing that happens here:http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread//147420-Wndows-7-system-repair-endless-loop

i will try to look into getting a new laptop soon. But i need to get my stuff out of the current windows.

Since my post i have tried using an old copy of ubuntu i found to boot onto a live distro to tap into my disk and even that is not happening.

Remove AVG in ‘safe mode’ then run any of these online scanners. http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUK370&=&q=online+scanner&aq=4&oq=online+sc

can’t login to safe mode either. it’s the same problem

I have 2 partitions: one for windows and all software and the second is for my data. that way, I can format my win drive without losing my data. I have used this method since I bought my laptop around 20 months ago. and it worked with the Vista I had and now with 7.
I also regularly back up things like favorites and other stuff that must stay on C: so I can be safe if something happens and I can’t access my windows…..
