I have a Pavilion dv6 running windows 7 Home Premium 64bit that won't allow a login in normal mode. The cursor won't respond. I've booted in safe mode, the system operates normally, cursor responds. I don't know if I can run any of the anti-malware programs in safe mode. Any suggestions?

In Safe mode, use Windows' System Restore to roll back Windows to a point in time when your computer was functioning correctly. It allows you to undo system changes without affecting your personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos.

Thanks for the input. I moved this to another area because of certain issues. I did try the Restore and the computer functioned normally for about 5-10 minutes, then locked up again. I'm currently following instructions so I can't freelance with it (not that that was helping anyway).
I think this may be ugly!

The next step then would be to restore an earlier system image or backup.

The problem with that solution is it's a friends laptop, and there wasn't a backup. We ended up cleaning it up through multiple scans through the Malware Removal forums. I was just glad he didn't lose all his files. Thanks for the inputs!

Good to hear the problem's been resolved.
