Hi,

i have basically the same problem as an earlier post in that i deleted the
whole CLSID folder from the registry instead of ceratin files within whilst
trying to get rid of a virus. This means that my compute will not start up.
It gets to the blue screen with the XP logo and that is it.

I can not get into safe mode, so from what i have read, i have to get into
the recovery console to repair the registry. My problem is, once i get to
the recovery concole, i don't exactly know what i am supposed to do or what
commands i need to type.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Jono
