Thanks FP Anti-Virus: Microsoft Security Essentials I never tried that, was hoping AVG or such was still good free stuff as I still don't trust MS for much. I'll give it try though. Will the Windows firewall stop call homes and such, and can I block outgoing connections for the program I do not want...

Ok, I may get back to this real soon, soon as I feel a little better. Not a good month here, crashed drive, the reboot problem on this drive, and crashed my bike 4AM this morning! I did not hit a deer! The deer hit me broadside at a full run jumping a 5' fence and I had about 10-25' to hit the brake...

OK, I used the other drive to boot with, moved the 5 files as said and now I am back into that same boot loop! I used files dated as 1/21/2012, I also tried to use files from 3-1-2012 which was the day I think the problem started but I thought would be good and from before the boot lops began. So no...

I think the laws are pretty iffy and if busted could be easily beat in court! It should be the responsibility of the wifi owner to secure it, if not secure you should have the right to use it! The reason I say this is plain and simple facts! 1 There are many free WIFI hotspots out there you can lega...

Well, I got booted into safe mode now after I copied the 5 files from repair folder into the config folder as it said. Now the problem is after about 3-4 minutes in safe mode the system just turns off! Not a problem with the computer itself, I been running the new drive with a fresh install on the s...

Yes, I ran CHKDSK on the drive today but still in the loop. I'll read through the info and try the restores. So is it likely then that the changes the tech made with remote access could have corrupted the registry then? Everything was fine until he made changes and this reboot mode started right the...

ok, ran spinrite level 2 and let chkdsk run. No real errors, or nothing serious anyway, showed up. Drive seems good and all's fine, other than still in the reboot loop though! I get to the black screen select safe, normal, last known good, etc.. and all options XP looks like it tries to load then re...

I use them also and try a couple others at times too like fat-wallet I think is one that works for me sometimes. I have saved a lot of money at times and also gotten free stuff with the coupons when they work. I use Net10 pay as you go cell phones, always the $30 300 minutes and 60 days of service c...

I downloaded the easeus disk copy now also Spinrite did not show any errors or repairs or anything bad on the graphics screen, just everything processed, but in the details screens there was mention of 64 somethings? LOL I forgot what it said now, but did not look to be anything serious, hopefully t...

Ok. I am running Spinrite level 2 on that boot drive right now. When Spinrite is done, what is now the best way to image the drive and or backup? I think I have DIY Irecover around here also, and I saw Ghost 2003 which would be the newest I have I think. The system I run for most things and online i...

Well, long story short, he made some changes on my system, try to boot into safe mode, now i am in a reboot loop! I get to the black screen to choose boot mode, safe,...
