I tried to fix a computer...and during the process I installed an antivirus (mcafee trial) in addition to one that was already on. This unfortunetally resulted in an unbootable system. Even in safe mode, all it does is list all of the drivers/apps it starts, but after its done, instead of going to the "welcome screen" like it is suppost to, it just restarts. I tried to disable the mcafee drivers that start durring boot using the recovery console, but it didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions of anything more I can do. I have the means to access the harddrive as a slave, and I can try more things through the recovery console, but I am now out of ideas. -Thanks
 
See how this goes>>>

1. Start your computer.
2. When you see the "Please select the operating system to start" message, press the F8 key.
3. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, use the ARROW keys to select Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.
4. If you are running other operating systems on your computer, use the ARROW keys to select Microsoft Windows XP, and then press ENTER.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
