i kind of know what im doing, but what i did didnt work out, so i guess what im doing must be wrong, but I hope thats where you come in and help me out 🙂
Basically i switch on my PC it loads up then the blue screen of death as they cal it comes up and it displays that error.
So basically im screwed since i cant log onto the pc 🙂 (sarcasm face)
I can however log onto the pc in safe mode.
So what i have done so far is install the recovery console.
I ran the recovery console as the PC was booting up and i replaced the supposed corrupt software file in the C:\windows\system32\config\ folder with the one from C:\windows\repair\system. Once i did that i exited the recovery console and woooopdidooo to my amazement the pc logged on and no blue screen came up, at this point i was over the moon, mazed at my accomplishment and basking in my glory.
However i after i logged on, was done surfing the web. I shut down.
I then put the PC back on, and I was shattered…the blue screen, with the same error was back 🙁
sooo now im totally stumped as to what to do..
I seriously dont want to re install the OS since that is not really an option, i have really important programmes on the PC which are configured and it would be a huge headache re installing them.
So if you can help me, which i am praying u can, please please help..i’d be so grateful you have no idea.
THANK YOU
Thanks! Will try that soon, I did have Mcafee installed however and xoftspy…so i doubt its malware, but at the same time i hope it is..then at least i know what the problem is.

The facts that you were able to get on in Safe Mode and that you fixed (temporarily) the problem make me wonder if you don’t have some malware onboard. Try this, all in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking (which will allow you to download anti-malware)
If you have an anti-virus, make sure it has the latest virus definitions and run a scan with it in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. That often prevents malware from protecting itself. If you don’t have one, many people here swear by AVG (it’s free).
I suggest you also download Ad-Aware 2008 and Spybot S&D (they’re free), install them, update them and run them. If any of the above (or any anti-malware, for that matter) doesn’t seem to be able to run properly or get rid of everything it reports finding, try running it again in Safe Mode.
Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.
To get into Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking:
1.Log out and reboot your machine.
2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
3.Select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.
4.Login.
5.The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different.
6.When you’re finished doing what you need to do, log out and reboot back into normal mode.
Note that even if the anti-malware programs get rid of the malware, they may not be able to reverse the effects. Search the Web for possible fixes.
Update and run everything regularly, not just when you think you already have malware.
Good luck.
