Okay...I try to make this a concise and possible. I am using a dell Laptop,
running XP Home edition.
I was exploring possibility of using msconfig to help speed up my start up.
I did not make any changes that I know of....but
1. My PC is locked ...my administrator password lets me in, but I still
can't use MSCONFIG..tells me that I am not the administrator. I get the
"Computer in use and has been locked" dialog box. I can get in, but can do
nothing....can't delete programs or use MSCONFIG.
2. I have tried Safe Start up...nothing.
3. I can't access my McAfee
4. Tried to access Windows firewall, but I can't....says services is not
running.
5. One possibility is that my pc locked because I tried to make changes to
the programs and the pc went into a protective mode.....
6. I was using my pc, but using son's cable internet acess thru his router,
with direct connect (not wireless)....I can't imagine that that has any
effect on my problem.
Have spent most the day researching, ...it appears I may have to reinstall
all of my programs on my laptop..
Help.....i really don't want to reinstall my entire hard drive.
Do I have a virus??
