2. Start NT8.
3. Nothing happens, and nothing showing in the Task Manager. - See pictures 1 & 2.
4. Attempt to repair the installation.
5. Despite nothing showing in the Task Manager, NT8 installation now reports multiple instances of NT running, so it cannot run the installation. - See picture 3.
If this were any other program, I would accuse you of installing a root kit. A program hidden well enough not to show in the Task Manager, that cannot be uninstalled or modified, is usually called a rootkit.
Now, being a certified geek, I go to kill NT from the command-line. But noooooo! We can list the task, but when we try to kill it, we are told that the task is not even there! - See picture 4.
Of course, if I reboot, the zombie instances disappear. Yes, I must reboot. Merely logging off does nothing for the situation.
