730068 2008-12-17 06:15:00 this is the only thing i can do
Now the only thing I can do is CNTRL, ALT, DELETE to see the systems manager thing but nothing else, no access to hard drives, no right click for properties nothing. Any help is great. Im running windows XP home.

730069 2008-12-17 06:19:00 Press ctrl + Alt+ Delete - hopefully the task manager will open - if it does, click File / New Task / Type in explorer Press Enter - that should bring up your desktop.

If that doesn't work (but look at this any way)- as long as the task manager pops up - file / new task, type in regedit - navigate to the following keys --

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version/Image File Execution Options/Explorer.exe

Remove The “Debugger” registry key if its present - reboot. You should have your desktop back - If you do, get malwarebytes, Spyware terminator, Spybot S&D from my sig - download and install do full scans.

Get Hijackthis (www.trendsecure.com) - run and do a scan / save a log - copy the complete log back here.

730070 2008-12-17 06:27:00 i cant find HKLM i can only get HKEY_current Configure >> sofyware>> Microsoft>>Windows>>Current Version>>internet setting mohadino (14141)
730071 2008-12-17 06:41:00 ONLY HKEY_current Configure ??? This is what you should have (www.imagef1.net.nz) - Hmmmmm OK looks like somethings gone real turtle.

Reboot keep pressing F8 - IF you get the menus, select safe mode with command prompt "hopefully" you'll get a prompt box.

IF you do type in C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe <Press Enter> "hopefully" system restore will pop open - if it does, run the system back a day or two. Reboot - see what happens - some bug has gotten in and caused all sorts of problems.

Apart from the infected PC have you got access to another working One ?

730072 2008-12-17 06:45:00 yes i have that thing on the pic then what next? mohadino (14141)
730073 2008-12-17 06:54:00 Navigate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version/Image File Execution Options/Explorer.exe

Remove The “Debugger” registry key if its present - reboot


Note: HKLM is the short way of writing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ( MIDDLE one in the picture)

WARNING - be VERY careful to expand the paths correctly and ONLY delete the last key mentioned other wise there may be troubles - if any of the keys are not present STOP- dont just delete one that "looks like the one"
