i think my computer has a virus

If you downloaded it from the internet then it's a cracked version and we don't help with making them work. Buy a key and you won't have these issues. Or use a free Linux Distro like Ubuntu. http://distrowatch.com/

Microsoft will usually work with you in getting it legal. Worth a try to see what they say.

hello again I saw something on youtube that sounded to good to be true didn't think it would work but was worth a try all the comments on the post said it  worked for them go to windowns in safe mode delete windows mediaplayer.exe in safe mode which made no sence how deleting it in safe mode will make it work when  on your computer when your not in safe mode couldn't believe i was  trying this  restarted my computer hit control 8 selected safe mode started going threw and it  just stops about a quarter of the way threw tried 3 or 4 times still nothing what do you think it could be

Bottom line. You have to get Windows legal before we can help any further.

Forum rules. http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,58736.0.html

If you need or lost your CD-KEY or other authentication key for a software program or game you’ll need to contact the developer of that program. We will not provide you or link you to where you can find a new one.

and iv'e being asking for legal ways to validate my xp

I've given information already.

Microsoft Product Activation http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/mpa.aspx or call Microsoft at 1-866-PCSAFETY (1-866-727-2338)

plz help my last two posts i wasn't asking for more help validating my xp back to the original question why might my computer not work in safe mode could this be a virus

Microsoft uses technology that makes it hard to run Windows unless it is validated. Get it legitimate and most if not all of your problems will go away. Until then, we don't help make computers that are not licensed work. Even if I know the answer it is against forum rules to help. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
