I got attacked by a trojan and have trouble booting my system. I'm running
Windows XP. My error on startup is "autochk not found. Skipping Autocheck".
After receiving error message, my system reboots to the same error. I'm
caught in an endless loop.

I've tried booting in SafeMode, but it doesn't come up. Only reboots. I've
also tried booting from last known good configuration. Again, no luck.

I've verified the autochk.exe file is located in the windows\system32
directory.

If this is a registry error, how do I correct the error when I can't get to
Windows?

Any ideas how to get past this error?

You asked in another group yesterday, take a look at your original post
