- Are you using VSHIELD on your computer? VSHIELD forces a cold boot on Control-
- Alt-Delete, unless you run it with the /NB parameter. Viruses stand a lesser
- chance of surviving a cold boot than a warm boot, although it might still be
- possible; I don't know for sure.
-
- One solution, if VSHIELD is not the culprit, might be to write a program that
- writes the "warm boot value" 0x1234 to the appropriate location (check the FAQ
- for the address to write it to, and double check that that is the correct
- value to write, as I am simply trying to remember the details). That way, it
- is there when Control-Alt-Delete is pressed (I don't know the exact rebooting
- process, so I am not sure whether this would even work, it is just one
- suggestion to try).
