Also...theres and option to allow you to confirm each step of the boot...but sometimes the runonce or startup crap slips through that.

Post #27,145 by bepatient 2/4/02 4:42:38 AM Reply	Try getting to CL with f8 boot... ...and rename then delete this mobsysb.exe...which is not a system file that I'm aware of. See if that gets you in so that you can trace where that came from and run msconfig and/or regedit to keep it from running at startup.
