I have searched but nothing that I have found has really matched exactly what my problem is.

Basically, a few days ago my computer on start up would load up all the way to my desktop but show no icons and would not let me do anything except go into Task manager via CTR-Alt-Del. I can't click on anything, there are no bars, nothing, just my wallpaper.

Now, when I go into safe mode, and as soon as it reaches \system32\drivers\TDI.SYS it goes to bluescreen saying The video driver failed to initialize. Obviously theres an issue there. How would I go about fixing this?

Previously an icon named "Casino.exe" would pop up on my desktop. I'm assuming my friend got on and never told me something happened. I failed to take it off before this video driver issue arose. (It being malware or something?)

Hello Grabby I would click this:Preworkfollow the instructions and copy n paste the results back here on your thread.

Heh, thats the issue. I can't get into my computer (desktop ie: MyComputer/Documents etc.) neither through reg boot / safemode / safemode with netoworking / last good configuration...

Regular boot results in My wallpaper loading up with no icons nothing I can do except ctr-alt-del.

Safe mode boot results in a BSOD "Video driver not initializing".

Grabby are you able to run this:http://www.pchelpforum.com/windows-x...eath-here.html
please post back with results.

Can't get to the control panel nor any of the other options listed.

Safe mode boot startup = BSOD

Reg = Wallpaper without anything else. Can't do anything except look at my task manager.

Hey Guys,

@ Gabby, my personal welcome to PCHF. Can you please post back with the exact BSOD message in its entirety? You have a very serious infection that is keeping your PC from booting, we will have to see the BSOD code to know how best to proceed.

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW

Thanks!

Having a bit of a trouble catching the code because the BSOD dissapears rather quickly. Anyway I can stop that? Or might I have to grab my dig cam.
