I have a problem with my computer that just started this morning. Whenever I boot it, it takes me to a screen that says that Windows did not boot successfully and gives me a bunch of options such as Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, and Start Windows Normally. Whenever I try hitting any of the options, the computer restarts and I can never get to the startup screen. This has never happened before, but I'm guessing it might be a virus. How can I fix it if I can't log on?
Please Help!

choose last known good configuration, if that doesnt work, you will need to get the install cd and do a repair install, then reinstall all updates.
this assuming you cant get it to boot into safe mode and use system restore.

This is probably not a virus
Windows probably had a file corrupt
I would advise that you reinstall Windows using the original Windows disk that came with your PC
I think that is the only thing you can do seeinbg that you cant even get into Windows.
A virus would not do this because a virus would need Windows to boot up to start whatever it does
When you reinstall I recommend that you install these 2 programs that will keep you PC protected from the latest threats for free (I use these two programs on all my computers):
Spybot Search & Destroy: http://www.spybot.info/
Ad-Aware Personal SE: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
I hope this helps you,

Start your computer and the enter safe mode,if it does enter in safe mode,go to My computer,right-click on the partition with windows installed,select properties,click on the the tools tab and then click on the "check now..." button,select automatically fix system errors,click on ok,the a window will pop-up asking you if you want to perform the system check when you restart the computer,just click ok and then restart and enter windows properly.

there is a problem with ur boot file, try to research about "recovery console" over the internet. must be something wrong with ur "boot.ini" file. don't worry ur not gonna fix-clean ur computer ur just gonna replace the "boot.ini" file in order to run ur computer again. & one way to do that is by recovery console. u should have ur driver CDs/DVDs that came with the computer
