[/quote] You're right. You did. I thought that meant you had tried to use Windows Explorer to delete it in Safe Mode. I was wondering in my latest post if you had tried to use HiJack This or Move On Boot in Safe Mode. However, now that I think about it, if you can't access the file from Windows Explorer in Safe Mode, you would probably get the same result from the other two programs in Safe Mode. [quote] [b]docilebob said:[/b] OK. DL'd SystemRescueCD, burned it, and it doesn`t give me the option to boot from CD. When I try and access the CD directly, it says that it`s corrupt or unreadable. [/quote] You may need to change the settings in you BIOS so that it will look at the CD-ROM drive to see if there is bootable media there before it boot from the harddrive. It seems to me that most computers these days are set up to look at the hard drive first, and often times they are not set up to look at anything else. Anyway, when you first turn on the computer, look for a message telling you to press Escape, or Delete, or F1 to boot into the BIOS setup. Press that key, then change the settings so that the machine will look at the CD-ROM first, before looking at the hard drive for a boot sector. If you're going to re-install the operating system, you'll need to have the BIOS set to look at the CD-ROM drive first anyway. You can always go back later and re-set it to look at the hard drive first if you want. If the CD is a Live CD format, Windows won't recognize the file system on the CD and will tell you it's corrupted. That probably doesn't mean anything. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
