Computer Problem
 

My brother seemed to install service pack 2 on the computer upstairs.

Now everytime the computer loads up it goes past the windows home screen and then stays on a black screen. It won't let me go into Safe Mode and when i try to boot it by using the last good time it worked it stops off the dick check and stays on that blue screen.

Anybody know what to do?

format c

and re-install windows...

Besides formatting is their any other way. We don't have Windows to install anymore.

dont use a pirated vesion of windows.

can you somehow system restore?... or make any changes in bios?...

That's why I didnt install SP2, I've heard only bad things about it

i had no problems with it... untill my HD crashed and now has to be replaced... but i don't think the two are related...

only option is to format c

i duno if u can do this, but try unplugging the c drive into ur other comp and set it to slave and drag all the contents off it that u want to save and then format, that's if its possible

We used an original copy, just it wasn't ours.

can you explain the second part?

when your system boots up, you can press DEL (delete) to enter set-up, see if anything in those options can help you or give more info...

alright i haven't done that

likely there won't be much in there to help, but at least you'll be able to see if the HD is configured, and check temperature etc...

A week after installing SP2 on my 120GB hard-drive, it went corrupt.

A couple days after installing SP2 on my 160GB hard-drive, it went corrupt.

SP2 is nothing but a problem to me. oOo:

Is a $2,800 computer not enough?

no u would would need a 1 million dollar super cumpter, thats wat buttocks will make u get

Ok, no problem, Bush.

so what happens when u try to go into safe mode? That's your best shot me thinks, then do a system restore. Nother option is to boot off of "your" XP CD and reinstall/repair. Dunno, sounds like it's time to format c: If you want to give SP2 a go agian (i know it's crazy) uninstall any Virus Scan progs and Firewalls first. Then install afterwards. Also take a look at the list of "bad" apps for SP2 just for kicks:

When trying to enter safe mode, it goes to a black screen and shows a bunch of commands like c:/whatever until it egts down tot he bottom of the page with white text then does nothing more.

It'll never stop. Sharons computer is just as bad. cry:

oOo:

1st -Only one solution to this, if you have the windows CD handy... you have to run a windows repair. (Thus repairing any problesm.) just plop the disk in on boot up and it should be an option to do.

2nd option = sadly... a format.

and post your problem

I would recommend a nice clean reformat and install WinXP then service pack-2. You probably won't have any trouble once WinXP is installed new.

Remove all usb devices then reboot.
SP2 includes the Driver Protection feature, which helps protect operating system stability by preventing the operating system from loading drivers that are known to cause stability problems.
