My gf puter is very very sick. I plan on using all the info and available tools from here to cure the ills.

BUT what I do need to know is..... how do I get her computer to pause long enough for me to get my commands entered ?

I plan on down loading all needed software to a disk using my computer and running them one by one on hers. Can I do all this in safe mode from her computer?

Thanks in advance.This will make it easier for you.

If needed see this Tutorial for the Avira Rescue CDDude the beers on me!

This place has never failed me.

Thanks a mill.OK This sounded so simple! lol

I downloaded Avira fairly simply. It didn't work as described so what I did was load it on my PC and burn it to a disc then, after an hour, tried running it on my GF's pc. When I finally got into safemode and double clicked the avira icon on her pc it ask's me where I want to burn it?

I tried the same with malwarebytes and on her PC it said something about not having admin rights and this function could not be done?

HELP ! LOLYou don't need to run the Avira disk in Safe Mode.

Do you have a flash drive? Check this out. http://evilfantasy.wordpress.com/bitdefender-rescue-usb/I know but it did not burn directly from the site to the disk. The only way I could get it to my GF's puter was to load it to my PC and THEN burn it to disc so when I placed the burned cd into my GF's puter and rebooted it did not recognize it as a boot disc and continued with its normal process. THEN I had to go to safe mode and try to run it from her F drive. OK when you restart the computer and you see the boot options in the upper right corner, it will say press F12 for boot options. Do that and then CHOOSE to boot from the CD.Tried it 

I "BELIEVE" it said not a valid drive. Something like that or at least that was the bottom line. Try some suggestions here. How to or can't boot from a CD or DVD.I got it to run!

Had to load on my machine and then double click and let it burn to drive. I just copied it before.

I'll let you know thanks a mill.DOH! I thought you had burned it before putting the disk into the other PC.

hehehe Heres what happen...

I "THOUGHT" when I placed the blank cd in my computer it would burn directly from the site.

What I really needed to do was download it to my PC "THEN" double click and open it on my PC then it asked me where to burn it.  I burned it and then ran it on my girlfriends puter.

Working on it again this morning.

I'll report back and thanks again.OK That did nothing. lol

Found 7 item, should have renamed them, and I rebooted and again I can't even enter a command the cursor is blinking so fast.Here's what else I did (tried and failed lol) I got it into safe mode and for whatever reason it did not let me into add / remove programs. I could click on everything else and it would open but not add / remove.

I sat there and tried to right click on the start tray (lower right hand corner) to get the application to come up so I could exit it but I wasn't fast enough. lol cntr alt del also didn't work or again I wasn't fast enough.

I re-ran avira, to no avail.

I've had several PROBLEMS in the past but this one seemd to be the worst or I'm missing something here.

Somehow I "DID" get into add / remover programs (dumb luck) and I it wouldn't let me delete Super Anti spyware which I know is a illness.

I need some drastic measures here. Can I just do a system restore ? And if I can , looking into f2 and f12 does not not seem as easy as some other puters I'v had the pleasure to Exorcise!
