Here вЂs a sum up of some of the most important features, new and old:ДЇull read/write and rpm support (since build 333)Д®asily reset windows passwords (backup and restore option in 3.3)ДЇour different virus scan products integrated in a single uniform command line with online update capability (5 in version 3.3)ДЇull ntfs write support thanks to ntfs-3g (all other drivers included as well) TRK is a complete command line based distribution, apart from a few tools like qtparted, links, partition image and midnight commander. I recommend it for your toolkit, it definitely saved my bacon. So I got lucky the USB mouse worked, and the TRK worked after some trial and error.

Fortunately, you can get there with just a few clicks of the mouse. I finally resolved the problem by using a restore point.

I tried deleting the Track pad and keyboard in Device Manager, both had the little caution signs next to them indicating a damaged or corrupted driver rebooted but this didnвЂ™t work. This took a little longer than I anticipated. I was able to log into the Administrator account and then began the next phase of fixing the corrupted drivers. I choose вЂњEnterвЂќ in the next dialog, and then typed an вЂњ*вЂќ confirmed this with a вЂњyвЂќ, and this created a new administrator account with no password. Once the CD booted normally, I typed in вЂњwinkey u adminвЂќ вЂ“ this started TRK searching, and mounting all the files in the system. PublisherвЂ™s description: Trinity Rescue Kit or TRK is a free live Linux distribution that aims specifically at recovery and repair operations on Windows machines, but is equally usable for Linux recovery issues. TRK is a Linux based bootable CD, that can be used for resetting passwords, recovering files and a few other things relating to Windows calamities. I came up with usual Microsoft solution, you know the one where you use the password reset CD you made when you set up the computer, yep that one, the one no one ever makes!ДЇortunately for me, I also found a reference to TRK or the Trinity Rescue Kit. So I did what any red-blooded geek would do, I Googled вЂњresetting a password in VistaвЂќ. I had to get into the admin account, or I was stuck. It wouldnвЂ™t work at all.Д«asically, I was hosed! I couldnвЂ™t run the device manager from the limited account, or do a system restore. Windows went through its usual routine and told me the keyboard had installed and was ready to use, except, it wasnвЂ™t. So I rebooted after plugging in my USB keyboard. I then clicked on the admin account I keep on the machine and went to type my password вЂ“ nope, the keyboard didnвЂ™t work either. So, I plugged in a old USB trackball mouse, success! I didnвЂ™t have any mouse! Even the Track pad was totally unresponsive. I didnвЂ™t think much of it at the time but when the machine restarted, the brown stuff hit the fan. When the computer shut down, I noticed it installing several updates.

It seemed to go fine вЂ“ I ran the Uninstall from Programs and Features in Vista, and enabled the full time protection in Malwarebytes, with the registration codes and rebooted.

Today, I was doing a little maintenance on my daughters Gateway laptop, uninstalling one anti-spyware program, and upgrading another to real-time protection.
