Help ! While attempting to get rid of spyware icons on my taskbar I disabled
a function in my registry and can no longer click on the start button,
taskbar or any of the icons on the screen after boot up and sign on. I have
no recovery points as I tried to reinstall windows XP and they were all
wiped out ( with recovery disk)
I know that I can reinstall the whole system with my oem disks, but I have
a large collection of pics. from my digital camera that I do not want to
loose.I would settle for saving them to the CD but I cant access it in safe
mode Does my oem disks have a copy of the oregional registry settings? If not
where can I get a copy and how do I install it over the old one ? Thx. for
your help !

Do you know which registry key you edited to cause this? Press
Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up Task Manager, then start regedit as a new task
and fix what you broke.
