hi people
ive been having a problem with a file
its in a stange shape and its infected the files in the same folder
any program that torches it makes the computer reboot
ive tried deleting it doesn't work-reboot
ive tried Sherding it works for a bit then reboots
ive hidden it to see if disk check doesn't pick it up but it does and it
reboots
ive managed to get pass disk by skipping it but sometimes the keyboard stops
resposing-reboot
i know where the file is and what it is
the rest of the computer is fine and i can still run my other programs that
dont use this file
but the disk check every time i start it
it finds the file
blue screen error
reboot
i just can't get rid of it
Some one please help me
 
Doomer64,

1) Did you disable the reboot after each error 'feature'?
* right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab

* click the 'settings' button under heading 'startup & recovery'

* Uncheck 'automatically restart', click 'OK'

* reboot



2) Have you tried deleting or shredding in 'Safe Mode'?



Do this first, if this doesn't work you can download a small app that can
disable the

'Autocheck' on startup feature.



Autoruns

Download: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html



After downloading

* click Autoruns.exe (Let the autoscan complete)

* Select the 'BootExecute' tab

* under key heading:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecuteuncheck

uncheck 'autocheck autochk *'

* Exit Autoruns & Reboot



Start with this and let us know your status

Merry Christmas,

Drew
 
Doomer64,

Forgot to add how to boot into 'Safe Mode',
* Start > Run > type msconfig, click OK > BOOT.ini tab >
* check SAFEBOOT

Note:
If on Local computer-click OK ('MINIMAL' selected by default)
If on a Network computer-check NETWORK > click OK
* Restart computer
