annoying Windows shutdown, right after logon. Even in Safe mode

[nuklep]

System:

Emachine T5212

Intel Pentium D 805 (i think) 2.66 Ghz
1Gb Ram
200GB + 400GB (autoslave) HD
1 dvd rom, 1 dvd writer
media card reader
X1300 ATI graphics


Ok this is the problem. I did the foolish act of installing Unsigned drivers for some Bluetooth adapter which promised a virtual Serial port.

I restarted the system and Windows still wanted to add "new hardware" (again the virtual serial port).

I selected cancel (I had been saying Cancel for a month, until out of curiousity I said yes, the previous time).

Now the system keeps crashing after about 2-3 min into a login.
Even if I use safe mode, it crashes

I even System Restored to a week ago. NO help.

If there is a solution let me know. But i'm willing to re install the OS.

But the problem is that this computer has the recovery disk as a partition on the 200GB original drive. Also. I would like to keep my original files intact, I do not care about loosing installed programs. As long as I can access my documents on C drive and my 400GB drive is left untouched.

I have an external drive (250) in case anyone has suggestions of copying over certain stuff.

Thanks for the help.

Let me know if you need any more Info.

don't know if you tried this already or not but you could try to startup using the last known good configuration option instead of safemode.

good luck
