Ah, got it. OK, this *might* work: Download http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe onto a computer that's working, and copy to a USB drive.


On the problem PC, ignore the fact that explorer won't work. Bring up task manager using ctrl+shift+esape, and from the task manager file menu, select run, then type CMD. Next, copy the combofix.exe file you saved to the USB memory stick to the hard disk of the PC (using the command line: copy e:\combofox.exe c:\ Of course, use the correct drive letter for your USB drive in place of e:) Once you've copied the combofix.exe file, then, still in the command window, run it from where you saved it. Let it run, and then restart the PC. Good luck...
