Sound very much like a virus. However you can try this. Boot to safe mode by tapping F8 when you see "Starting Windows 95" and selecting Safe mode on the selection screen. If it gets there Click start, run, type: regedit and click ok. click the plus signs by: Local Machine. ENUM and MF. Under MF will be CHILD 0000 and CHILD0001. delete them both and restart the machine and tell it normal mode if prompted. It "should" say: found new device loading software." When it asks to reboot tell it NO and it will again say "found new device" Keep telling it NO until it is done and in the desktop
