Hello.
I just had to sign up here, as I'm experiencing a bit of a serious problem regarding getting into my desktop at the moment, which I can't do. My PC starts up fine, but once it gets past the initial slash screen, then a black screen with a flashing white dot, which normally appears then the XP loading bar appears, but instead of this loading screen, there is nothing but black after the white dot. I tried using my recovery disc, and I've made sure the bios is set correctly, but the disc mostly just fails to load at all, while sometimes I will get the "press any key" promt. This will allow me to go to a blue screen where loading of certain system programs takes place very slowly, but then I will get a message informing me of a failer and to press any key to continue, in which case it then says the computer must be restarted and then I'm back at square one again. It's maddening.
This issue only came about when an annoying trojan called AV Security Suite invaded my system. I Googled for a sollution, and was so informed that a program called Malwarebytes would sort it out. I went into safe mode, performed the scan, it detected a dozen infections, so I hit delet to get rid and rebooted. At the restart, this problem persisted. One other detail is that I noticed that the list of commands that streams down the screen before loading in safe mode or using the "last known working config" option holding F8, that list now stops short of loading what it should load and just hangs.
The computer itself, I don't really care about. It's the work files I have on it that I need. But if I can't even boot a repair CD, is there anything I can do to get into the drive?
Please help!
