complete system crash

[Celeste Morrow]

I changed some file names: msi.dll, msihnd.dll, and msiexec.exe in order to
install NOrton 360; well now I can't even boot up in safe mode. My mouse
won't move. Help!!!

Well do I remember the ruler my academy instructors. "Spare the rod ..." is
now considered a child abuse attitude in western culture generally. I doubt
the attitude is going to get much credence in China and India. It's a shame
our more unruly newsgroup members don't live there. :/
