Solve : windows fails to open?

Answer»

I have a 5year oldDell Inspirion 2200 laptop, Operating system XP. It was working fine until I received an update Service pack 3. I already had sp3 so don't know why it wanted to update, but it did. The update failed and computer froze. Now the computer goes to opening screen for windows then goes black after 60 seconds. I can not get to a c prompt. I do not have a restore disc for operating system as it came preloaded. Is there anything I can do?I SUGGEST you borrow an XP sp3 disc from someone and do a repair install (it must be the same version of XP as is currently installed).Quote from: Allan on September 19, 2010, 06:57:48 AM

[suggestion removed]brentbmwh,
We do not condone illegal acts that could POTENTIALLY get our users into trouble.is that illegal? i thought it only was if you use a illegal keyIn a sense, yes, it is considered illegal because it is not an authorized copy. If one has a legitimate license key, they are not likely to get in trouble, but it is still frowned upon here. But more importantly, an unauthorized download could very well have been tampered with, which could result in software issues or perhaps even infection. When dealing with a gray area such as this, 'tis best to err on the side of caution.

If the OP can't obtain a CD, it would be best to contact Microsoft or Dell.ok im sorry, i did not know that. i will take note, THANKS
