windows won`t start

Grif,

I did try to uninstall what I had down loaded. I used the add/remove feature. Some times it worked and other times no. Somtimes I was successful right clicking the program icon and clicking uninstall on drop dwn menu.
Now I can`t get in at all. I tried starting in safe mode and worked thru all options to start in that screens menu. Always ends with the same error message. I never get to a c prompt to try entering any thing as suggested in the linked article.

Grif, I`m thinking I should just try to reinstall xp from my recovery disk.

Bob,

In your case, that might be the best procedure at this point. Sometimes, it's better to start from scratch.

With most Recovery disks, place the CD in the drive, restart the computer and it will automatically run. It should give you options to do a simply "repair", or do a full format and restore. In your case, I believe it's better to do the full format and restore because it will get rid of all the junk that was placed on the machine and put the computer back to the factory condition.

Hope this helps.

L7James,

The idea of these forums is that they are a place to help each other and to learn from each other. Going into private interaction via e-mail isn't encouraged. Better communicate via the forum.

It's not necessary to mention your email-address in a post. Unless, of course, you want to risk to get still more spam than you get already.
Every forum member can mail another member by clicking on the name of the adressee in a post (opening his personal page) and click on 'email this member' button, as long as that person has given permission for being emailed in his profile. That mail is being sent by "cnet", so all email-adresses are kept private until you decide to disclose them to somebody else to start a private communication. So update your profile to use this feature.

You seem to be a new member, with only 4 posts. I hope you don't mind my telling you some particulars.
