I’ve never run into this problem, but my sister supposedly has a virus on her XP box, and I’m really not sure how to help her. The bootloader works fine, but upon selecting a user, does not display any icons or any sort of interface. Pressing the power button seems to call up the ‘shut down’ display on xp.
What virus, if any, might this be? What are some possible solutions that don’t involve me manually backing up and reinstalling everything? (I can run a live linux cd and mount the HD)
NOTE: there is NO anti-virus installed on this machine.
