Safe mode situation

Guest

Reading through the various postings, I am still unable to solve the issue.
When I power on the pc, it always goes to the safe mode and what ever
options I take such as Last Known Condiguration, I always end up at the same
place. I have the hd scan as slave and found mostly adware, My friend's also
scan the hdd with Adaware .

Also used the Recovery Console. chkdsk c: /r does not help.
Any idea what can I do,TIA

Open up c:\boot.ini in notepad.

You may have a '/safeboot:minimal' on your operating system line that
needs to be removed

Sorry, not enough information to give you focused help. If your computer
will not go into Regular Mode, you have to fix the reason why. It could
be the malware you have on the hard drive or it could be for some other
reason such as a bad driver or even bad hardware. I'm sorry but there's
no way to diagnose it without more information. For instance, what
changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

Here is a link that will show you what details to include in your next
post in order to get focused help:

This probably won't correct it but try it. In safe mode run msconfig:
Start | Run | Msconfig | Ok. On the boot tab uncheck safe boot. Ok out and
reboot.

I wish I could provide a more 'complete' info. When things happen, everyone
in the household will say they didnt do anything and when they boot up, it
goed to Safe mode all the time.

However, I believe its the downloading of songs that might have caused these
to happen. The hdd (as slave) has been scan by using Ad-adware 1.06, AVG
7.5. These 2 progs detected are mainly tracking cookies which were deleted.

An on-line housecall scan was unable to complete, for some reason,it
always "jump' out of the scan and the browser will close.

How do we "Open up c:\boot.ini in notepad. "?......... TIA

I'm not the one who told you to do that, Jon did. The method I gave you
using msconfig has the same result as Jon's. Did you try msconfig and if so
the outcome?

If malware is the problem, an it could be, here is a link for dealing with
it. The fact that the online scan through trendmicro aborts is suspicious.
