spend time on it. From your description, it is already infected. You
should erase the hard disk and reinstall the software.

How do you go about doing that, without the Microsoft Windows Product
Key? If I start a re-install over top of what's there, won't I get
totally stuck again?

If I wanted to play with it, is there a guide to starting up a minimal
load? I know from 'troubleshooting windows stop messages'
(http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm) what is going on, but its not clear which
files control that.

Can I get a enough of a boot up to use either a usb flash drive with
anti-virus tool, or CD boot disk to do a virus scan of the hard drive?

thanks in advance, zip.
