A friend of mine, a complete computer noob, has a dell desktop with winXP. He doesn't have ANY anti-virus or anti-spy/malware programs installed...just uses windows firewall. When booting up his computer it gets stuck in "loading personal settings".
I helped him over the phone run XP in safe mode and clear out the IE properties and his temp folder. No luck.
Since we can't install any anti-virus/spyware progs in safe mode, what can I do to help him diagnose his problem?
Can we download stuff from the internet in safe mode?
Thanks alot!~
