This sounds like you have some malware that is infecting your computer. If
you can open in safe mode and reach your antivirus program you can run a scan. But if as you say you can't even get that far, you may have reached that time that comes to many of us: you may have to use a recovery disk, assuming you have one, and wipe your hard drive clean. I hope you have been backing up all your data on a regular basis, because you will probably lose the lot. I hate to sound like this and it would be wonderful if some kind person with more knowledge than me can give you an easier get-out. But that's what it sounds like to me. Good luck!

Hi Rick,
When it restarts, hit F8 immediately after the initial post and before Windows begins to load. This should get you the boot menu where you can choose the last known good configuration. Once back in, install the updates one at a time. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Rick" wrote in message ...
