Thanks guys,

I think I have virus or some sort. I was able to remove the drivers and boot up normally, I updated all the drivers, and then the same thing happened.......this virus I have seems to corrupt drivers (sound and video went). I did the whole process again, and noticed that my firewall was blocking like 100+ attempts to dial out through explorer. I did a virus scan and downloaded a few other virus scanners and cleaned my machine, and it found a few trojans, but it's still happening, and now I can't even connect to internet, it reroutes anything that is trying to connect to internet to some 0.0.0.0.0 IP address....ugh. I think I am gonna do a clean install on my main hard drive. If I back up all my important files on my second harddrive in the machine....will that be fine through the clean install on the main drive? Also, does anyone know of any internet restoration tools I could try to get my internet back before I reinstall windows?

Thanks guys,
