XP all applications fail to initialize
Hi, I need to launch system restore or get into safe mode on XP as a recent
virus issue has led to my system being crippled. XP is on my 1st partition, Vista is on my 2nd. I cannot run msconfig or any program on xp, I can only view and open folders. I can access the same folders from vista so is there something I can do in Vista to change something on xp that will boot it into safe mode or launch a system restore when I next start xp up? Regards, Dave |

Have you tried to boot XP into safe mode with the F8 key at startup? If
not, try this and select the Safe Mode with System Restore option. Or try login on with the administrator account, you may have to press ctrl+alt+del several times at the logon screen for the administrator prompt to appear. If you manage to logon with the administrator account, and better yet in Safe Mode you may be able to restore the system or reacquire full control permissions to your normal account, and scan for a likely still present infection. Other than the previous options, you may have to do a repair installation of XP cause there is nothing much you can do from the Vista OS, other than rescue files and folders. ----------------------------------------------------------- "Ğave" escribió en el mensaje ...
