Okay in safe mode bring up msconfig, by going to start-run then type msconfig, and then go to the last tab, uncheck all the items then hit apply and ok, reboot the computer. If you can boot normally repeat this process by checking only one item in msconfig at a time then rebooting each time until you find the offending program. However if you can get into safe mode, most applications that start up will not start up so that might not be the problem, make sure you tired to do what Wedor advised. ------------------

Here is one bad file, gdklke.exe Right click "My Computer", left click "Properties", left click the "Advanced" tab, left click the "Settings" button under "Start up and Recovery", uncheck the box that says "Automatically restart". IP: Logged |

I haven't had time to run the event viewer, I will try later. When you suggested load one program at a time after running msconfig can you be more precise about how I actually do this. Do I run under normal startup or selection startup. It doesn't allow me to tick diagnostic start up. In the system.ini folder there is one 'application'. Under services there are about 50 items and about 20 under startup. Here is the HJL. Running processes: R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.tiny.com Thanks again for your help. IP: Logged |

No problem, you could try safe mode and then go into msconfig, disable every program then one by one try to load windows until you find the offending program. Can you save the HJT log to a floppy disk then upload that disk to another computer that has internet access? ------------------

Firstly thanks for replying I dont get any error messages The machine reboots after I selected my user id and goes into the desktop. It then creates the shortcuts on the desktop and then immediately reboots without giving me the chance to do anything else. I will try your suggestions. I can't post the HJL as I dont have internet access in safe mode. I presume this is normal? Is there another option I could use to gain internet access without a normal startup? IP: Logged |

Do you get any error massages? Where does your machine reboot at? Try this in safe mode, go to control panel then administrative tools-services- log or event viewer, then go under system log and look for the date and time that your machine reboots at, and see what the error message is and the description of the error, also go to system (in control panel) then advanced and look for automatically reboot when a major error occurs, uncheck that and hit apply and ok. Also post a HJT this log in your reply. ------------------

I have basically been cleaning my machine with a lot of spyware via the hijack log. However now when I go in to the desktop the machine reboots and takes me back to the log on screen. I can boot up in safe mode but dont therefore have internet access. I guess there is a problem with something in the startup menu?? Any help would be most appreciated as I am getting very frustrated.
