I was running perfect until I ran an avast scan and deleted some "bad" files.
Now I can only run in safe mode. in normal mode IE7 wont open, mail will not
send & receive, explorer wont work, and applications wont run. All of these
function in Safe mode. I did a full upgrade after I had used the beta in a
different partition for a while. I am sending this message from safe mode.

My questions are
1 Can I uninstall vista while in safe mode and get back to my XP setup? or
2 Can i do a fresh vista upgrade from safe mode? or
3 Am I totally out of luck and will need to do a clean install of XP and all
my apps?

Fortunately I have argentum backups on a separate hard drive.

Help!!!
 
type in Run ..msconfig , goto the boot ini tag
& select your default OS , in your case you want to go to XP
 
also 1 more thing ..always have XP as your defaut OS
Vista RC1 is still not a complete OS & should never be treated that way !
it is only for goofing around & testing out applications

peace Xibit
