Now, windows will not boot and it blue screens to "windows fatal error".

Jan 22, 2009I recently bought a Canon PowerShot SD430 Digital ELPH Wireless for use in my chiropractic practice. It will be used in posture evaluation and I selected it for the wireless feature. After unsuccessfully trying to install it on my samsung laptop R710 AS04 I was informed by canon help that 'Windows XP (excluding the 64-bit version) with Service Pack 2 installed is required to use the wireless function.' while the samsung came with Vista pre-installed.
My question is this: I still have an old CD of XP Home Edition, it is version 2002 with a part number X08-26270.....how do I know if this is the 64 or 32 bit version? Will I have problems installing SP2 on such an old version or should I pop for a newer one? I'm determined to make the danged camera work wirelessly, any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

View 6 Replies View RelatedSystem Restore Hangs After SP2 Installed?
Jul 23, 2005Using XP Pro - installed SP2 two days ago. I did everything recommended prior to install, such as updating everything possible (including BIOS). Ad-Aware and NAV 2004 (up to date) both indicate a clean system. NAV 2004 disabled during SP2 install. Defragmented and checked disc, etc, etc.Since installing SP2, System Restore has stopped working. I noticed it first when auto update downloaded updates after the SP2 install. When I tried to install them, the install just hung (because it tries to create a restore
point prior to installing the updates, and System Restore won't run). So I can't install updates either. I'm not even sure what 'HarddiskVolume2' refers to? I only have one disk (C with a very standard XP Pro configuration.In September last year I tried installing SP2 but ran into the same problem. I spent days trying to sort it out, but eventually the MS people recommended I remove SP2. They said it may have been a corrupted download, so this time I ordered the CD. This install was from the CD, but exactly the same problems have occurred.Booting in safe mode doesn't help because it doesn't let you create a restore point, only to restore to a previously created one.System Restore was working perfectly for 2 years prior to this under SP1. I would rather not turn it off, because I don't want to lose the restore points I have to get back before the SP2 install! What else can I do???
Re Installed Windows - Boot Up Asking Operating System
Sep 15, 2005I recently reformatted my HD and re-installed XP home. Now when I boot up it asks me which operating system I want: either Windows XP Home or... Windows XP Home. Why is it showing the same OS twice? Can I get rid of one without having to re-format all over again? What might have I done wrong when installing the software?
View 6 Replies View RelatedInstalled Updates In SP3 System Wont Boot Now
Apr 14, 2010I have purchased a Windows XP with SP3 OS. After installation of the OS I installed the high priority updates from Windows. Following that the boot up screen would keep cycling without ever logging into Windows. The BSOD error is STOP: C000012a. I have read many forums and I believe the best course of action is to reinstall the OS. It seems there is an error with the Windows updates when being installed on a version of XP which is bundled with SP3 already installed.

May 13, 2005We purchased the Video Advantage ADX (can be found here:We double checked to make sure that the computer we're installing it on has all of what the manual said is needed for the card and the accompanying software to work (it's running windows 2000, has a graphics card we think is compatible, the right space, audio card, and hard drive, etc). We followed all of the steps for installation - so far so good - until we got to the point of installing the powerdirector (another bit of software included). That wouldn't install. It instead gave the message: "This software can only be installed on a designated system".Since we think all of the requirements are met, we don't know what else is wrong nor what it means by "designated system".

Apr 17, 2006When trying to install farstone virtual drive on a computer it reboots during the driver installation phase. After the reboot at the desktop windows says new hardware found and asks to install it. It's the offending driver, fcdabios. Windows installs it and says it was installed successfully. Then the computer spontaneously reboots again. It seems to start alright back at the desktop but again reboots after 2 minutes. The only cure is to do a restore from a norton ghost image. I sent a debug file to farstone but haven't received a reply yet.

Mar 22, 2007my girlfriend had been adamant about not updating her computer because she claimed that is a way to get viruses.I scoffed and updated it anyway.I downloaded almost 2 years worth of updates over a two week period, the last update was the XP Service Pack 2 update.The very first time the computer was started after her SP2 update it loaded extremely slowly. The mouse doesn't work correctly (I can only right click) and most programs are inaccessible. I tried to System Restore (which is no easy task without a mouse) but it fails each time. I ran a virus scan with AVG but had no luck finding any infections.

View 13 Replies View RelatedInstalled New Hard Drive / System Crashed / Drivers Missing?
Oct 22, 2007Installed new hard drive, along with XP Home (recovery disk).Before my system crashed all my motherboard drivers were on D: partition.XP loads okay, but it is unstable - for example I cannot start msconfig under "Normal" start up. It crashes. I will not list all the BSOD - but XP doesn't like something.I have no devices connected apart from basic graphics card (which XP loaded the drivers for okay). I am waiting for XP Pro to be delivered, so I am hoping that my unstable XP will become stable after I upgrade (or full installation) of a retail version.
Prior to installing my current XP (one time of at least 30 others - as kept crashing),I tried to load my motherboard drivers from the disk my manufacture supplied.is it possible that my XP Home is unstable BECAUSE I do not have my motherboard drivers loaded? That might seem a naive question - but I honestly do not know, and I've started to become a tad paranoid as these problems have been ongoing for 5 weeks.
