OK, I tried your recommendations, but I still can't get past the login screen. I'm still at the Welcome screen and when I click on the username to login, it says "loading your personal settings" and then promptly goes to "logging off."

Try this one then. :)

1. Restart your computer
2. Before Windows loads, you will be prompted to choose which Operating System to start
3. Use the up and down arrow key to select Microsoft Windows Recovery Console
4. You must enter which Windows installation to log onto. Type 1 and press enter.
5. At the C:\Windows prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:

cd erdnt\hiv-backup

6. At the next prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:

batch erdnt.con

7. The erunt backups will begin copying.
8. At the next prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:

exit

Windows will now begin loading.

Excellent, your suggestions worked. When I went to c:\combofix.txt the txt file was incomplete, so I ran combofix again as per your last suggestion on November 6. I used what was in the quote box from your post then. Here's the text file from my run today.

1. Close any open browsers.

2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

KillAll::

File::
c:\windows\system32\opeia.exe
c:\windows\system32\wmdtc.exe
c:\windows\system32\lsm32.sys
c:\windows\system32\FastNetSrv.exe
c:\windows\system32\BtwSrv.dll
c:\windows\system32\msv1_0.dll
c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll
c:\windows\system32\msasn1.dll
c:\program files\U1 Setup.exe
c:\documents and settings\Amy Chen\rthdcpl.exe
c:\windows\rcdrive32.exe
c:\windows\system32\igfxpers.exe
c:\windows\system32\hkcmd.exe
c:\windows\system32\igfxtray.exe

Registry::
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\~\Browser Helper Objects\{a4e232aa-bd80-4ce2-896f-f0b02c7accc7}]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Microsoft Driver Setup"=-

Driver::
fastnetsrv

FCopy::
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\svchost.exe | c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\tcpip.sys | c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys


Save this as "CFScript.txt", and as Type: All Files (*.*) in the same location as ComboFix.exe

4. Reconnect your internet.

Posted Image

5. Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

6. Once ComboFix has updated, and started to run its scans, unplug the internet connection again, and keep it unplugged until further notice.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

I did as you recommended. But after running combofix, the computer restarted and tried to run Windows. It went to the screen where you choose which operating system to run. After this screen, it goes to the windows starting up screen (with the blue dots moving across the bar). But then it goes back to the screen where you have to choose the OS to run. It keeps doing this in a never-ending loop. I forced it to shut down after about 30 minutes. I turned it back on and tried performing your suggestions from November 8, when I couldn't log on and get to my desktop. But, it proved unsuccessful.

Try these commands from the Recovery console, pressing enter at the end of each line. STOP if you encounter an error at any stage.

c:
cd \windows\system32
ren svchost.exe svchost.old
copy "c:\qoobox\quarantine\c\windows\system32\svchost.exe" "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe"
copy "c:\qoobox\quarantine\c\windows\system32\wininet.dll" "c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll"
exit

I tried your suggestions. The first 3 lines worked fine. But once I got to the line that says copy "c:\qoobox\quarantine\c\windows\system32\svchost.exe" "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe" I got a message saying "Access is denied."

Let's go with these.

c:
copy "c:\qoobox\quarantine\c\windows\system32\svchost.exe.vir" "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe"
copy "c:\qoobox\quarantine\c\windows\system32\wininet.dll.vir" "c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll"
exit


Also, see if in the F8 menu on boot, you can disable automatic reboot on bluescreen, then you can provide me with the STOP error code if it is still bluescreening after this.

Here's what I did:
1) went to windows recovery console
2) when it asked me "which windows installation would you like to log onto, I entered 1 for C:\WINDOWS.
3) at the C:\WINDOWS> prompt I entered C:
4) at the next C:\WINDOWS> prompt I entered copy "c:\qoobox\quarantine\c\windows\system32\svchost.exe.vir" "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe"

When I performed the last step, I got the message "Access is denied."

Whew, sorry for all the problems!

Sorry to be a pain... :)

dir c:\atapi.sys /s

I need a copy of the output from this, except there's no simple way to transfer it from Recovery Console, so I'm going to need you to type it up.

Remember, I'm here as long as you want me to keep trying, but if ever you want to reformat, just give the word. :)

I typed in dir c:\atapi.sys /s (there's a space between the .sys and the /), but that was probably not what you wanted, so I tried it without the space and got the following output:
The volume in drive C has no label
The volme Serial Number is f48f-490d
Directory of c:\atapi.sys\s

So based on your last response, what exactly would reformatting entail? Wiping out all programs and files and stuff on the computer? If I opt not to do that, is there any hope at all of getting my computer back to normal?

Thanks for all your patience.

There is a space, and the slash must go the other way. Give it another shot.

We could most likely recover your data, but not programs.

Hi, Raktor -
I tried it with a space and slash the other way. The result? "The parameter is not valid." One question: If it were your own computer, what would you do? Would you reformat? Or would you keep going with the debugging effort? I'm ok with either. Which method would be best given the circumstances? Thanks for all your patience and efforts.

If it was me, I'd cut to the chase and format. Besides knowing that the system is clean, you'll get rid of the extra bloat that you don't use on the system anymore.

If you want to format...
a) Do you have the Windows XP CD?
b) Do you have any driver CDs from your hardware manufacturers?
c) Do you have relevant software installation CDs?
d) Do you need any data backed up before wiping the machine?

OK, reformat it is, then. Here are the answers to your questions:
1) Do I have the Windows XP CD? Yes, I do.
2) Do I have driver CD's from manufacturer? No, I don't.
3) Do I have relevant software installation CD's? Yes, I do.
4) Do I need any data backed up before wiping machine? Yes, I do. I suppose, I could just save it onto my own external hard drive? Or not?

Thanks!
