    Something I just noticed when i run msconfig and go to boot.ini i can't click /safeboot unless i click multi(............

    should it read...
    [boot loader]
    timeout=3
    default=multi (0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
    [operating system]
    C:\CMDCONs\BOOTSECT.DAT="MicrosoftWindows Recovery Console' /cmdcons ***?
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)Windows="Window s XP Media Center Edition"/fastdetect /NoEecute=OptOut ***?

    I used to be able to run msconfig then boot.ini and select safeboot right away but now i have to click on the multi... as i said.

    Ive tried all of the above mentioned with no success. About the regedit part, I did not have anti virus/malware installed untill i had these host problems, so not being able to edit or delete the hosts file existed before i installed these programs. In safe mode the hosts file attributes cannot be changed from read only it says access denied.

    I did the regedit search but am not familiar with regedit too well. On the left side a lot popped up on the right only one line that said "default" "REG_SZ" "Constructor that allows hosts better control creating scriptlets"
