Okay, now I"ve done it. I went to Boot.INI and chose /safeboot. I turned off the computer with the power switch and turned it back on. It didn't open in SafeMode.
So this is what I did. I went back to <Boot.INI> and chose < /safeboot> - but I clicked the button on </safeboot with dsrepair>. I also changed some of the startup choices because while I'm turning the computer off and on, my son's AOL Instant message window kept choking the computer. So I wanted that off.
NOW the computer opens in SafeMOde, but it goes right to the black screen with cmd.exe at the top of the window. Of course, because I know just enough to be dangerous, I now have a <c://documents and settings/DAVE /> looking at me. AND not know anything about internal or external commands, I can't do anything else. Is there anything I can do? What would a computer fix-it guy do to save my son's THOUSANDS of mp3 downloads? YIKES!!! I'm in TROUBLE!!
