you'll probably need to enable a "usb legacy keyboard" option in your bios.

Cheers bro sorted the legacy keyboard out in the BIOS & now can get in to safe mode but it still gives me the same options..... so how am i gonna get rid of the file?

 

[blastman]

have you tried removing it from a command prompt???

sometimes I use the command prompt to do stuff that windows doesn't seem to like, or takes a while to do.

in case you don;t know how;

cd c:\path\to\file\to\delete

del filename.exe




hope it helps.

I used to have a keyboard with an F-lock (logitech jobbie), and i found if i turned the F-lock on when i restarted straight away, after a couple of seconds it would turn back off, so i had to watch for it (as it had an LED to say when it was on) so i could quickly turn it back on again to allow my F8 to get me to safe mode.

Press the buttons on the keyboard.

Can you not just select the file and press delete on the keyboard?

Damn, that Unlocker app is great, managed to delete a couple of folders I've had on for ages that were totally undeletable, wasn't able to change permissions, ownership, or do anything with them, couldn't even delete them from a live linux disc.

Ok, you need to get to the file location first. I take it you know the path of the file??

at the command prompt, type 'cd ' and then type the path to the folder that contains the file.

example;

cd c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\

then type 'del ' and the file name and then press enter.

example;

del test.txt


it should then say ' 1 files(s) deleted'


hope it helps.
