I spent several hours yesterday trying to fix the problem and I believe I tried to
open Task Manager in Safe Mode and it did not work. Task Manager did not allow me
to browse and, if I remember, typing the command did not help either.
I was able to boot in Safe Mode with Command Prompt and I can start some programs
from there but not, for example, Internet Explorer (which I needed to go to MicroTrend
web site and check on-line virus scan) and Anti-virus program. So, commands in DOS
(Safe Mode with Command Prompt) are working fine with some exceptions (anti-virus
program cannot be started from Safe Mode with Command Prompt and I also could not
start Internet Explorer).
Thanks for your reply.
