Cannot use system restore. Cannot use hotfix in safe mode.
I get this message when i login. I can do safe mode, but microsoft sent me the virtualization client hotfix...but i cannot use it in safe mode.
I recently ran microsoft updates. I had sworn off of them, but i kept getting zeus virus pop-ups...so i used hitman pro and it probably deleted something i needed.
Another message i get is that windows repair cannot run because something is plugged into a usb, which there is not.
I found advice about deleting explorer.exe from the registry to fix the problem. It did not, probably made things worse.
Any ideas? I have been at this for most of the day. Thanks in advance for any help.
