Solve : XP Boot Up Problems? |
|
Answer» Hi Sorry, the Windows Advanced Option Menu, is this on the black screen? Yes, the Windows Advanced Option Menu is on "a" black screen. If you're running Windows XP SP2, the following item should be available to you: Disable automatic restart on system failure It sounds like your system is automatically taking you there due to the "unknown" condition. Normally you would access this menu by tapping the F8 key about once a second as you boot your system. (Or if you feel lucky, immediately after the single beep of a successful Power On Self Test (POST)). As I mentioned earlier, I don't believe this "item" appears on earlier versions of Windows XP (original or SP1).If you have the Windows XP CD-ROM available, you must run it and restore the OS KERNEL reinstalling it (Note: I don't mean that you reformatting the HDD, only reinstall Windows XP to restore the kernel) try it and answer me back!!!! If you don't know how to do this, you must follow the next steeps: 1. Boot up the machine with the Widnows XP CD-ROM inside, and press any key to start from the cd... 2. Select in the blue screen menu the "Install Windows XP" option by press the Enter key. 3. When the Installation interface shows you the option that you have a Windows XP OS installed, then press R to repair the Installed WXP. 4. When all the process finish, you could enter to WXP normally, and you will note that all the programs, folder and files will remain in your pc.

At this point you don't "must" do anything. The option "friny" proposes is still on the table but may not be the best one.

Post the data here. It's important to copy exact message (and numbers) as they appear to facilitate internet searches (Microsoft Knowledge Base and other sites).Strange! We done a few guess work bits with the repair CD and it has now logged on however it ran through CHKDSK first, verifies things and then goes to the sign on screen. Should we run the virus checker? Thank you so much1. Chkdsk may have corrected inconsistencies within the file system. 2. Virus Checker. It wouldn't hurt since you should run it periodically anyway. I guess you're asking whether you should run it while you're successfully logged in. Don't know, it's your call. If you have access to the internet, I'd probably ensure its signature database is updated before running the scan. 3. Blue Screen.

I'm just trying to understand which path you took and what worked for you. Sounds like you rebooted from CD and recovered from there.Hi We rebooted the CD from the blue screen. Everything seems to be owrking fine now. Thank you so much for your help. Betty1612 |
