My computer would not boot when I got back from vacation last week. I've finaly got it back up and running. I was getting an error message that said "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt : \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair."


I think I've got it all fixed now. I found a help file on suport.microsoft.com that did the trick for me.

I really wish I knew what the heck messed it up???

Anyway I'm hoping someone could help me figure out my HiJackThis Log so I can make sure I'm clean. I've run all kinds of removal programs and now have AVG, Spybot S & D and Spyware Blaster going. Thanks!
