G'day all.
I've only had a PC for a few months, and now have a problem.
I'm running Windows XP.
it started when I got some spyware on the computer. Now I'm pretty
sure I can solve that.
The problem I have is that whilst trying to solve the spyware problem
I was having problems getting my computer to boot into safe mode.
Everytime i tried I would get safe mode in all 4 corners of my monitor
and Microsoft........etc on the top, but no task bar or start menu. Actually
the task bar, menu and desktop icons would appear for a fraction of a
second.
Then I came across a website....Nortons I think that said go
Start-Run MSconfig
then in the Bootini tab click on restart in safe mode
I did that and now the computer will only start in Safe Mode.
But I still have no task bar, or start menu. I've tried adjusting the vertical
settings on the monitor but there is definitely no task bar.
Can someone please please help me to get out of safe mode.
please bear in mind i've only had a pc for a few months though.
And I realise now that instead of trying to sort the problem out i should have asked.
A lesson learned the hard way.
thanks
Pete
