Ok i duno if this is the right place to put it in, but idc. I need help of them smart peoples. Hmm.. ill try and explain this as best as i can. When i start up my PC i get the black screen with grayish writing on and all that technical writing that says its loading. Once thats done, however, instead of continuing to load it comes up with a screen like this: So i pick start normally, but it just goes back to the first loading screen, and comes up with them startup options again.. I've picked every option on that list about 5 times, yet whatever i do it always restarts ENTIRELY. It just wont get to the login screen. Anyone help? Id rather avoid buying a new PC.
Sounds like a job for an in-place reinstall. In my experience, with WinXP you don't have to reinstall any apps, or anything
sounds to me there is something wrong with the boot records or the registry from a required service not running. I've had this issue (although it may be due to another issue) and the only thing I could do was reinstall Vista (or XP) on my PC. There is never a reason to buy a new PC if your computer won't start up.
k ill try that first Tman. If it doesn work ill just reinstall XP on Monday when i have time. Cheers anyway
