Hi Katana.
No dice on the rename. I ran the command then tried to run ComboFix as Winlogon.exe and it launched, the status bars completed and then it died, like before.
I do have an operating system (already installed on your computer)/reinstallation cd for windows xp prof sp 2. It says it is for a Dell, my laptop is an hp. It says only reinstall on a Dell. I don't know where this operating system cd is, I moved and apparently lost it. Can I use the Dell OS cd to install the Recovery Console? BTW, I am using XP Prof, sp3 at present on this Laptop.
Any other way to get the Recovery Console?
Thanks for the continued support!
