Help! Hosts file problem
 |
I have a problem on my laptop, it started last night when I tried to install a program...I can only access Windows Vista Home Basic through safe mode. When it tries to go through normal mode, all I get is a black screen right after it indicates Windows is loading. I never get to see the user and password screen to login to windows. When I am in online in safemore, I can't access any anti-virus websites. I can't even download the "HijackThis" program. If i try to go to any anti-virus website, it redirects me to some spam sites etc. It is VERY annoying!! Any help is appreciated!!

What program were you trying to install? Sounds like this may have caused something.
