Thanks for the info! The trouble is, is that I can't get into my PC at all, because it won't accept any of my passwords etc. If I could somehow get back into msconfig, or the files to my boot.ini file, I can get back in to normal mode, and then proceed from there. Any ideas?

if you have an install CD I would say to try a repair install, that should work Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers

have you tried pushing F8 during while the computer is booting? That may allow you to boot into safe mode with networking. You can then install a virus scanner to get rid of MS Removal Tool.
