My husband downloaded a .exe file from a trusted ftp site and now the
computer is stuck in a boot loop. I see the windows xp splash screen but
that's it. If I boot in safe mode, I can see all the drivers load, but again
it just reboots. I am in the recovery console, but don't know where to go
from here. Does anyone know how to run the system restore from this point?

System restore isnt in recovery....However,try the advice to the post before
yours....

Hi,

If you haven't logged on to the system since installation of this file, you
can try Last Known Good Configuration:

Theresa, I know this sounds a bit lame but....
Have you tried holding in the start button on the tower until the machine
boots down
and then booting up again.

Thanks, but I can't even boot into safe mode.....I guess I am stuck with
reinstalling windows.

The link I provided has nothing to do with the Recovery Console, it has to do with
running a Restore from a Safe Mode Command Prompt.
