Recovery Console - Comments Page 4

Hi Bob. This is about the recovery console. I've got a virus that stops me entering safe mode to delete it (i get a message that "changes to software or hardware may have prevented windows entering safe mode this time"). I tried to enter safe mode through a "safe boot" option on my antivirus software, but get the same result. HOWEVER, when I try to enter windows normally or the "last known good", the antivirus software automatically tries to complete it's task of entering safe mode again. I'm caught in a loop and can't enter the Windows interface. Can I use the recovery console to remove this scheduled task of starting in safe mode? I'm not very confident using the recovery console. Much obliged for any hints you can throw my way! Eddie

hi bob ,

NB: The MS "Help and Support site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900871/)
for this issue says:

"NOTE Integrating a service pack is supported only in Windows XP Home Edition and in Windows XP Professional Edition. Integrating a service pack is not supported in Windows Media Center Edition."

I have WinXP Media Edition 2005, so how would I fix the original problem this article is responding to?
