  7. I downloaded Variant 2 but the icon did not appear on the desktop. I went into the Download folder and ran the program. The black box appeared for about 3 secs then an error message (“SafeBootKeyRepair.exe” has encountered a problem and needs to close.” Pls advise.

    Variant 1 website is down today.
