I tried to type in the Windows Restore command:Ĭ:\system32\restore\rstrui.exe but windows didnt recognize the command In trying to use the original Windows XP CD to boot, this is OK, but when you select the option to repair it just drops you into a DOS command and does nothing. no help there since I cant hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to login Choosing WIndows Safe mode with command prompt still just brings up the Crtl-Alt-Del required login. when booting into safe mode, same issue, it always starts with the login screen which requires Ctrl-Alt-Del, so you cannot boot into Safe Mode because you cannot login I also tried the external keyboard on another PC and it worked there too, so keyboards are not the issue If you go into the install menu, you can confirm the keyboards work, but this is no help as far as I can see both notebook keyboard and external keyboard have no effect
The next day when I booted up the Notebook PC, it would not respond to Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence.
They required I install something in order to view the no spam word confirmation - pretty common here. I was surfing a Chinese web site similar to ebay called TaoBao. Always updated and always on protection Running McAffee and SPyware doctor for protection
