As with many people he has no back up of his data, 10 years work and 20Gb. So he doesnt want to wipe and start again. What options are available? Can you clear the Vista password at logon? Is there an antivirus DVD he could use to clean this [bleep] thing? Any ideas most welcome, thank you in advance.

http://www.geekstogo...ystem-tutorial/ The AVG disk might help.
Also:
http://www.hirensboo...BootCD.15.1.zip
Download, save and then right click on it and Extract All. Click on BurnToCD.cmd and follow the instructions to burn the CD. Then move the CD to the sick PC and boot off the CD. (You may need to change the boot order so the CD drive comes before the hard drive. See: http://www.hirensboo...-order-in-bios/ )
Boot into MinitXP then click on HBCD Menu then Programs. I think there may be some help there. If Hiren's mini XP won't run it's a sign that the hard drive is corrupt.
