Hi Daave, yes, I am reffering to SR. The method described in kb/304449 does not work, as I do not get a Command prompt when selecting this boot option. I get to the Windows log in page instead. I tried a SR because my Windows configuration started to act weird in some details after my last Windows Update, such as not remembering the toolbar configuration of Word, and the like. Any ideas?

The usual course of action is to identify the particular update and uninstall it. Then you could post here for more help: microsoft.public.windowsupdate Regarding System Restore not working, you could always disable (or uninstall!) Kaspersky. But it is important for you to be able to enter Safe Mode with Command Prompt. So, when you press F8 repeatedly after you turn on your PC, do you ever get this menu: http://79.170.44.116/jpt-solutions.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/boot-menu.jpg If so, you need to use the arrow keys to highligh the correct option and then press Enter. If not, perhaps there is something wrong with your keyboard (or you may need to use a different type ... do you use a wireless keyboard by any chance?).

Of course you do not get the command prompt. You issue is you are unable to login in any mode. Until you can boot successfully and do some maneuvering, you will not be getting very far in resolving your problem, so you must boot on something - like the XP Recovery Console. You can create a bootable XP Recovery Console CD when no XP media is available by following the directions in this link: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html When you get Recovery Console booted, we will be able to fix your system. In the meantime, after you boot the Recovery Console so this: For each of your hard disks, you should then run: chkdsk /r For example, from the Recovery Console prompt, enter: chkdsk c: /r |
