I get this message about every 2 minutes. What do I need to do? I have run chkdsk utility as suggested by the Windows -Corrupt File popup. The entire message reads: "The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\ntuser.dat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am including an HJT log if you need it. Thanks for your help!

Go here to deal with NTUSER, you can possibly create the new one then rename it or after removing the existing one, create another new with the user name you want

http://support.micro...kb;en-us;811151

It could be best to leave changes until you correct the malware so go here

Run the programmes as advised then post a current Hijack This log to the malware section

Thanks Keith, but now I can't restart in either normal or safe mode. I tried to boot from my xp cd to repair and it won't reboot from it either. It recognizes the cd in the bios, but when it goes to boot, it goes right past my cd rom (scsi). As it tries to restart in Safe Mode, it stops at a WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\amdagp.sys file. It also was just going through the chkdsk system and then restarting which is what it does after it gets to the windows file listed above in Safe Mode.

When it goes through the chkdsk system, it says it found an error and then restarts. Continually.

Boot the PC with the CD in and keep tapping the enter key

It is likely to be malware though

[Fan]

Thanks again Keith,

It just says Boot Failure. I changed the bios to only boot from my cdrom. It seems that I am doomed here.

If you have another PC with XP on you can do this provided there is a floppy drive on it and on your PC

I have a laptop with XP and a P4, but my desktop has an AMD P7. Will this still work? I only ask because my laptop doesn't have a floppy and I will have to hook up my USB floppy to it. It is not a lot of work, but I have to find my USB floppy! LOL

[Retired Tech]

I really hope XP is only interested in the files on the disc, not the proccessor used, it should only depend on the writing format of the floppy drive and if you are going to use the same one it should go OK

[Fan]

I cannot get the files I need to keep from being hidden. I have unchecked the protect system files and I have checked the show hidden files and folders. What am I doing wrong?

[Retired Tech]

Try search and include hidden and system files

Double click the hard drive then Windows and copy them from there

[Fan]

Keith, thanks again. Nope no luck. All of the correct boxes are checked/unchecked but I cannot get to the boot.ini file or any of the others. I don't know why.
