3 things:
1. I could not turn off SpyBot's TeaTimer, because i cannot launch the program. As I mentioned earlier, some programs give me the error:
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.SpyBot is one of the programs; ewido is another--same message whether I try to run the application or run the installer.
--------
2. When I start the computer, I get this message:
Windows cannot find "C:\WINDOWS\System32\Kernels32.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, Click the Start button, and then click Search.-------------
3. Also, remember that I cannot restart the computer - I have no Start button, and ctrl-alt-del has no effect. The power button has no effect. I must unplug the computer in order to "restart"
---------------------
I followed your instructions again, with these results:
1. When I ran smitRem, I followed the prompts, but I did not get the "up to 3 hours" disk cleanup. it was more like 2 seconds.
2. The 5 error messages that HijackThis gave all ENDED the same:
Please email me at [email protected], reporting the following:
