> Before doing that though, you might try a few things:
> 1 - boot up in safe-mode (press F8 before Vista starts), this will give you
> a minimal Windows without anything unnecessary running. If you can access
> the drive then its probably a virus or other application interfering)
> 2 - restore to an old system restore-point. Try restoring back to before you
> installed the suspect software. Note: Its probable that doing this will
> corrupt your bioshock install and license, you may want to run the license
