Thanks for the suggestions to try ad-ware / spy ware virus removal programs, BUT, I've already tried those. They don't work. Not in this case. This situation on my computer is really BAD! And, of course I'd love to as you say, "use the system restore CD's and boot from them, making sure your first boot device in the BIOS is the CD Rom drive, making sure the disk is in, and turning it on/rebooting" BUT, that doesn't work! That's my whole point here. How can I re-format otherwise and restore all my stuff? (I've already backed up all the files I want to keep.) Is there a file I'm missing? Maybe in my zeal to rid myself of some spyware, I accidentally removed some good files as well? Anybody know what that message I keep getting means? Why won't it accept my CD-ROM book disk when I reboot?
