  1. Log In Freeze

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Hi Brian,

    I will do that as soon as i get home and try. i should tap F8 when the windows screen comes up before the log on accounts screen appears? Is that right?

    You should turn your computer on, and start tapping F8 as soon as you can, because this will allow the choice of which mode you want to start windows in - You want to choose "Safe Mode" - This way, we can see if you can at least boot with the minimum drivers - As stated before, you may have a driver that is stopping you from a full boot, and at least if we can get you into safe mode, we can determine if its a driver problem - If it isn't we can see if the Malware Team has any ideas :)

    WHENEVER I TURN ON MY COMPUTER AND GET TO THE LOG IN SCREEN TO CHOOSE WHICH ACCOUNT I WANT TO LOG IN ON, MY COMPUTER FREEZES AFTER I CHOOSE THE ACCOUNT. OBVIOUSLY I CANT GET TO CONTROL PANEL BECAUSE THE COMPUTER JUST FREEZES ON THE LOG IN ACCOUNT PAGE...IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO..

    BTW...THE COMPUTER WAS WORKING FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE...

    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

    MichaelC:

    Can you boot in Safemode? Reboot your machine, and before the Windows Screen Loads, start tapping F8 - Then choose "Safe Mode" You could have something stopping a full load up, and at least this would allow us to know if you can boot up in safe mode - Could be a driver or program stopping/freezing you up

  8. Removal Instructions For Antivirus 2009

    in Malware Removal Self Help Guides

    Hi Everyone:

    I had a friend that was infected with this, and a few other nasties, and when I got done, I had a Classic Taskbar and Start Button: LINK HERE I used MBAM to scan for and remove all of the nasties - but cannot revert back to the Vista Style Taskbar and Start Button - Did/Does MBAM change this behavior, and if so, how do I change it back to the Vista Style (Theme still appears OK, but I cant change the startbutton or the Taskbar to what it would normally look like)

  11. Vista Taskbar Chages To Windows Classic: Cant Get It Back To Vista "normal"

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted · Edited by baker7

    Hello All:

    I had a friend today who told me he had been hit with WinAntivirus 2009. Using MBAM in safemode, updated it in "Safemode with Networking," Then ran MBAM, in normal mode, removing this infection and others. In Safemode Vista gives you a taskbar and startmenu that looks like prior versions of Windows, and I want to restore the Vista Looking Taskbar. I used Taskbar and Startmenu and tried to restore the defaults, but the taskbar does not return to normal. This is a Vista Home Basic Machine (Acer Aspire Laptop)

    Is there a way to restore the Vista Taskbar to normal? I wonder if MBAM removed something it shouldn't have, but I can't find any way to restore the taskbar to normal, and I don't know why an MBAM scan would have removed this Vista looking Taskbar and start menu......

    Any Help you can give me would be great!!

    Thanks,

    Brian

    I bought a book yesterday that was cool: its called Category 7: The Biggest Storm in History and it is by Bill Evans and Marianna Jameson. It is like a science novel, and details a story of what could happen if a Category 7 storm (I think there are only 5 categories though) Hits New York or New England.....

    I just started reading it yesterday, but will continue to read it as I can ;)

    Has anyone else read any good books lately?

  14. Voting Experience

    in Open Chat

    Posted · Edited by baker7

    I voted by absentee ballot about 2 weeks before the election. We had a landslide election for Obama, but we reelected Gov. Douglas (Republican) in Vermont for another 2 years. Most of the incumbants in Vermont won reelection easily.

    One thing that bugged me was that we had a charter change question on the ballot - was a business registration fee for businesses in my area. Problem was that the way it was WORDED made it sound like it was giving the city permission to change the City's Charter whenever they need to do it. I voted NO simply because I didn't understand what the devil I was voting for - The Tax, or the Charter Change - wish these guys would make the language more clear.

    Jeff: glad that you enjoyed your first experience man - Voting gives you the power that will shape the givenments we deal with (Local, State, Federal) - History was made that day and I am glad that I was here to see it.
