Help - Trojan? boots to blank screen

[RAS2008]

After running virus check last night (Mcafee) on my desktop - there were several items found that the virus check picked up on (some trojans I believe) - it quarantined 2 of them, but the note next to 2 others mentioned a reboot is needed. When I reboot, I get to the Windows welcome screen, then to pretty much a blank windows screen. Same in Safe Mode.

I have Windows XP Home SP3.

I can get to Task Manager (with C-A-Del) and it shows no apps

I've download the mbam software to a thumb drive -

Next step?

Possible solutions to Screen Resolution and other issues

1. Please see the post

3. Currently only the German keyboard is supported.
   Command Line not working
   English keyboards require work arounds.
   
   
4. Some computers attempt to mount the floppy even though they don't have one. You may need to go in to the BIOS and disable the floppy drive in order to mount your hard drive for scanning.
