Hello
I have winXP on my system and I have a virus (flec006 I believe). I tried to run my antivirus in safe mode, but I can't get into safe mode. It just keeps rebooting

I read in a help site to change my mscofig boot.ini to boot into safe mode....well, to make a long story short, I can't even boot into windows anymore. It just keeps rebooting.

My question is...can I change this setting in anyway, or somehow get my computer to just go into safe mode?

Otherwise, I need to reformat.

Thanks

Mike in St. Louis
