Thinks it is in Safe Mode
This Toshiba laptop isn't in safe mode but backup says it is. No netork adapters showing althought Device Manager lists the adapters with no exclaimation.
Started with the DVD not showing up but and an exclaimation in device manager. The internet was working just fine. I tried to remove the Upper Filters entry in the registry to fix the DVD issue but couldn't. I went into safe mode to take ownership and remove the offending entry and that worked. After that some apps, more than just backup, claim the machine is in safe mode eventhough it isn't. Hoping that this is the cause behind the network problems. After getting the DVD working I installed Nortons 360 and when trying to get updates I realized that there wasn't an internet connection. I did put Superantispyware in before fixing the DVD and ran it and nothing but cookies found.
Any ideas?
