Hi! Have tried all suggestions (same problem as Jim Laven below, apparently); Windows Defender did not find *any* infections, etc. etc. This is a small HP netbook, so if it can be fixed via FARBAR that would be lovely. Here is my FARBAR log:

Scan result of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) (x86) Version: 01-07-2013 01

The current controlset is ControlSet001
ATTENTION!:=====> FRST is updated to run from normal or Safe mode to produce a full FRST.txt log and Addition.txt log.

Hello lildreamer316,

Welcome to Geekstogo.

same problem as Jim Laven below, apparently


Nope, doesn't show up with the same problem.

Not sure what is going on but let's try this:

Open notepad. Please copy the contents of the code box below. To do this highlight the contents of the box and right click on it. Paste this into the open notepad. Save it on the flashdrive as fixlist.txt

LastRegBack: 2013-06-13 12:47

This Registry file is specifically written for the infection on this person's computer. It should NOT to be used on another machine. It may cause serious damage even to the point of rendering the computer unusable.

Please enter System Recovery Options, as we've done previously.
Run FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the flashdrive (Fixlog.txt) please post it to your reply.

If you are not able to boot up after that then tell me.

If you are able to boot up then do this:

Please download the latest version of Farbar's Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. The 32bit one will be the right version for you.

  • Right click to run as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will produce a log called (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please copy and paste log back here.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please also paste that into your reply.

Hello lildreamer316,

No luck there then.

I didn't realize that your machine was stuck in a Startup Repair loop.

If you haven't already been there the link below can sometimes be helpful:

http://www.sevenforu...p-recovery.html

Alternatively, when did the problem manifest? We could try a restore to a time before it happened using FRST. Outside chance but you never know. :)

Hey :)

I actually tried both that link and the restore points before..absolutely no luck. I guess that means a factory restore to original settings is probably in order, yes? It's ok...there isn't much of value on the comp and I backed up my files earlier. Just a PITA.

That's my last best thought.

I guess there is also the possibility of hardware failure. Either your hard drive or some other component. Hopefully not and a factory restore will fix the problem for you. :)

If you get time let us know how you get on.

Best of luck
