Rebooted PC And It Only Has The Classic Theme
Oct 2, 2006I have just rebooted my PC and it only has the Windows Classic theme. I think this might be because i have disabled something thru services.msc.Does anyone know which service i need to change to Automatic or Manual?

Sep 4, 2005Had XP administrator username and password set up the first time I installed XP, but never enabled it until yesterday. Reebooted this morning and now windows won't accept my password. I don't know why it's not taking my password, or if I wasn't typing it in correctly (did not have caps lock on), but now I'm totally locked out.
If I load the xp cd, is there an option to unlock xp if I have the original serial number that was loaded for that system? I'm on my old system right now. I know you can reset the bios password, but I highly doubt that resettting the cmos jumpers will clear the xp logon password.

Jul 21, 2005The other day I using my computer (Compaq Presario), and the all of a sudden it rebooted without any warning.While it was starting when it showed the windows XP boot screen it jammed. So I turned it off and when I tried to boot it wouldn't. I have some ideas as to what the problem can be:1. Its overheating.2. The CPU is fried.3. There's something wrong with the video card.I have 2 fans inside the computer and about 1 week ago I bought a new CPU cooling fan. I believe the video card is a NVIDIA TNT2.

Oct 12, 2005I'm using win 2000. Been fine for 5years, no BSoD's at all. My niece was on my computer looking at someone's myspace and then it shut down and when it rebooted, I got this fine message:
I went into safemode and did a search for all files modified around the time she was on it. There was some spyware which I deleted after running Hijackthis. I have reduced the amount of virtual memory as well. Unfortunately, my virus program will not run during safemode so I don't know if there's a virus (hijackthis would notice it right?)
I have no idea what all the numbers in the error refer to. If anyone does, that could help me in fixing this and finding out what hardware or driver went haywire. Can this just happen all of the sudden like this? I have not installed any new hardware or programs for awhile either
Automatically Rebooted - Files Lost
Oct 16, 2009My computer rebooted itself a few days ago. When it did this my computer stopped at the log in user screen. I've never had any other users setup on my computer. When rebooting it always goes straight to the windows desktop. After that I noticed that my desktop picture and all of the folders I had on the desktop were gone. My favorites were removed form IE8 and I keep getting a security settings warning bar that doesn't let me fix it. I click fix my setting and it looks like it does then on the next page it pops up again. So I had to create another user with admin rights to use for the internet. I can find all of my files that were on the desktop but they are showing up under user owner but if I log into widows with user owner they don't show up. I also show another user with no admin rights and is password protected. ASP.NET machine A?

Dec 29, 2004I have a wireless network at home with 3 computers (All 3 use XP operating system) connected to a Linksys Router. I've had no problems for 2 years. I lost my connection on one of the computers (my son's) and tried to resolve through Linksys. There had been a very weak signal to the computer for a few months prior to losing the connection altogether and, the Linksys tech rep. thought that my drivers and Windows XP updates were probably not updating properly. He recommended connecting the computer directly to the router and updating from there. Just before trying this, I rebooted the system and received the following error

Oct 14, 2008I've had an infinite reboot cycle for the last 3 days now, and I still cannot figure out why. I have been looking at other cases and are quite similar to mine but not exact. This is my problem
I have XPP and one day my computer got a BSOD. Then through out the weeks it had a few (5-6 maybe) BSODs. And one day I started up the computer and it went to the windows splash screen, the logo, and rebooted itself. Being frantic on my 6 month old computer, I let it reboot by itself...and it went on like that for a while. It continues to ask me if I want to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, the last good known configuration, or start windows normally. I have tried all of the options and they lead me down the same road...infinite and continuous rebooting at the logo.

View 9 Replies View RelatedBooted Computer - Powered Down System / Rebooted
Jun 13, 2006I saw another thread on this issue, but it didn't quite fit, so I thought I'd get others opinions. This computer was built for me by a non-major vendor. I consider myself semi-computer literate, and feel comfortable with most work required inside my case. Let me start by saying that this issue happens most often when I've woken my computer up from sleep mode. I have made no major changes to the hardware or software recently. What I did do was move the computer, rather gently, 2100 miles to my new home in a new city. The PC is under warentee, but the original vendor is rather far away. I also noticed that the first time I booted the computer after the move, the computer made a funny noise. It sounded like something (either a fan of the HD) was spinning improperly. I immediately powered down my system and rebooted, and have not had the noise since.
The full message (sans text) reads:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
*** STOP: 0x00000D1 (0x000000EC, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0xAE5A38D4)

Begining dump physical memory Physical memory dump complete. Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance. I've also noticed that on the boot screen, my PC no longer seems to be doing a memory test, or showing my 3 gigs of memory. In windows, it appears the system sees the memory, but the memory test seems absent on boot. I have no problems, so far, running resource heavy programs. This seems, like I've said, to happen only when I sleep then wake up my PC. Rebooting from this screen will cause the PC to reboot itself constantly, but turning the PC off and rebooting seems to give me no errors, again, until I sleep it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCrashes / Rebooted, It Sounded Like The Hard Drive Stopped
Nov 6, 2008I downloaded something stupid and probably got a virus as a result of it. A day or so later, when I next turned on the computer, it only got as far as loading the background to the Windows XP login screen, not the dialogue box itself, then rebooted. When it rebooted, it sounded like the hard drive stopped for a second, then started again. I formatted my hard drive, and after discovering that having a second hard drive connected causes Windows setup to crash reinstalled Windows XP Pro. It didn't help; in fact the reboot happened even earlier, while the Windows XP Loading screen was up. I went back to XP Home, and now the computer will get as far as it originally did, but doesn't reboot, it just freezes.

Jan 23, 2007Thought I would see if someone could tell me what to look for or try on this ladies computer. She had Windows 98 on her computer. Her daughter gave her an XP disk so she put that on her computer, I guess she just put it on over the windows 98, anyway she said trhe xp worked great for she said about 90 days but now when she turns the computer on nothing comes up but the screensaver. The way I understand it is it just acts like it is starting but just show a screen saver and thats it. Can anyone tell me what I could try to help this person, my first thought was maybe she did not activate the xp but then it would not run for 90 days it would quit after 30 days. Even if that was the case shouldn't I be able to get the windows 98 back for her? would it hel;p to use a windows 98 start up disk?
