Sorry, i was working from my iPad. The computer starts and i hit F12 it takes me to A couple of options bios flash, hardrive password, not like F2 where you have the typical options. F12 has an option “diagnostics” i go there pause the diagnostics, hit advance optons and it gives you a list of options, one of them is the command prompt. I ran everything in safe mode, did a proper reset start, followed each step, my only question is when it came to repair environmental variables, and a couple other repairs on that step, that where it went to dos, and made the repairs. I have an external hard with my image on it, and my registry files are backed on my windows restore backups ext harddrive f: i am familiar with DOS, but i didn’t want to change any drive letters until i had more information. I have never used an X drive? I wonder if something triggered a virus, that McAfee or Malwarebytes missed. I thought the exact same thing how can this happen without human intervention. I know enough about computers to sometimes fix them & sometimes get in trouble. I have a minor in computer science when the language we learned Fortran & Cobalt. Im aging myself i was in the Air Force for 27 years & of course the system administrator every place i went. Well i’ll give it a try and see what happens, if push comes to shove i have a brand new harddrive they gave me, I'm not losing anything i have a backup every night for the typical library's. Thank god for external hard-drive’s. I also should have paid moe attention on what exactly was being repaired. As I i cannot figure out how a program can change your c: drive without human intervention. Just so many real weird .dll file in my wow 64 file. Is it possible for a virus to get through my security? The have it start up when you apply the fix?
