I have asked SpySentinel to advise on how to delete Kaspersky for you.
I will let you know when he replies or he may just step in and let us both know.

Hi guys, hope you don't mind if I join in. Try this:

Exit any Kaspersky products you have,
Go into TaskManager... click Ctrl+alt+del and end all processed called avp.exe
run C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Kaspersky Lab Tool\unins000.exe.
When prompted to, click "yes" and restart your computer.

If the above does not work, download and install AVPtool again and do the same as instructed above.
If that does not work, disable Self-Defense in AVPtool and click "complete antivirus protection" (at the bottom-right of AVPtool)

Thank you spy it worked,you have also been a great help I thank you for your time.

Now just as a suggestion you should relax and just enjoy your system for a couple of days. See how it works with reboots and everything and then in a couple of days you can try to reinstall the new video card. We will be here when you are ready or have any questions. At this point I just want to say:

You are very welcome. I'm glad we could help and please let us know how everything works out for you.

Before we say this is resolved, I wanted to give a shot at this question:

1.when I restart my computer it ask wich operating system to use.windows home and I dont remember the other one,it says press enter are wait and it will start on its own.It never done this befor is this normal,will it hurt anything?

This is related to the boot.ini.
Let's look at the boot.ini file.

• Right click on My Computer and choose Properties
• In the Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
• In the Startup and Recovery section, click on the Settings button.
• In the window that opens, click on the Edit button...a notepad window will open (boot.ini)
• copy the contents of that window and paste it here for me.

Regards,
Olrik

I'm sorry I started to address that a few posts back and never finished it.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

[rshaffer61]

Please do the following in the exact steps. Failure to do so could make the boot.ini damaged and cause unstable or unusable results with your system.:

Save a Backup Copy of Boot.ini

1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl and then click OK.
2. Click on the Advanced tab, and then click Settings
3. In the Startup and Recovery area at the bottom click Settings.
4. Under System Startup click Edit. This opens the Boot.ini file in Notepad ready for editing.
5. In Notepad, click File on the Menu bar, and then click Save As.
6. First in here change the location in the top white drop down box to Desktop. Then in the file name change to Boot.old and save as Text Document(*.txt) and save it to your Desktop and then click Save

Now you can repeat the steps to get back to step Number 4

Below you will see a sample of a Windows Professional boot.ini file. Yours will look the same except it say's Microsoft XP Windows Home Edition
Anything under the last line in the sample below...Delete
Save and Exit
Then reboot and see if the problem has now been fixed. Reply back with the results.

Sample Boot.ini File


[boot loader]

[operating systems]

In a few days when im ready to install the ATi card how should I go about it to make sure it installs rite?

I should go in bios first and set pci as the primary card?And if so will my onboard keep trying to update again as it did last time? are will bois shut down my onboard card?

i want to thank everyone who helped!!!!I came real close to bringing the pc down to the fireing range.I am realy gratefull in all of your accestence.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[Artellos]

Hello

The way you describe it would be the best course of action.
There would be no need to remove the on-board card drivers as they are 'standard' drivers built into the OS.

I'm glad you're sorted

Olrik

[rshaffer61]

Congratulations again. Don't worry to much about the new card. When you are ready you can come back and post again in this topic and I'll catch up to you again. I'm sure if needed I can call on Artellos to help
