Hello :)

I have windows vista and on system configuration, my computer will start in selective start up. However, if i change this to normal start up, the computer will then automatcially tick the box for safe boot. I was wondering whether anybody knew how to start up in normal mode without safe boot?

Many thanks!

Lets look at a HJT log to see what may be causing this.

Download and rename HijackThis (HJT)

• Double-click on HJTInstall.
• Click on the Install button.
• It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe
• Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
  • Close HijackThis and rename it.
  • Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.exe
  • Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename
  • Type in sniper.exe and press Enter
  • Right-click on sniper.exe and select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)
• From the desktop open Hijackthis.
• If using Windows Vista, Right-click and Run As Administrator
• Click on Do a system scan and save a log file
• Hijackthis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
• Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
  • Do not have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Note: Although we have renamed Hijackthis to sniper, we will still refer to it as Hijackthis or HJT.
