before I got to the login screen I was redirected to a screen with options such as "Safe Mode" and "Start Windows Normally".
No matter what option I go for, the computer restarts and returns back to that screen - creating a loop.
Before this screen appears I am told that my disk drivers failed or something (sorry but I don't remember the exact words) and I should put my system CD in (I assumed it meant my Windows Setup CD, which I later found out was correct).
I have a computer that is running windows xp home edition. I cannot create a shortcut to the windows explorer application on my desktop, as the windows explorer program does not appear in the programs window. I know that if I click on the start menu and navagate to the programs icon, a second window wil appear showing all of the programs that are installed on my computer. However in the programs menu, I cannot see my explorer application anywhere.
Install the disc before connecting the ipod anyway i installed the disc and then restarted the pc however when the pc boots up it says something along the lines of. windows failed to start. This could be caused by hardware or software that has recently been installed.

No problem I have XP now. After multiple error during the xp install I finally got through it.only the computer will only boot in safe mode. Initially thought it was a hardare conflict so I booted in safe mode with networking and systematically cleared all the yellow.
I bought a HP 6720s and now i am not able to get the XP drivers.can anybody tell me where can i find them or if not then can anybody tell me that in how many days can i return the product back to HP? Guys i FOUND it. It's the standard intel driver(82562GT)we all tried so far. The O/S doesn't handle the resources it allocates to it correctly and that cannot be changed.So I did a new windows XP installation and removed the ACPI at startup. After that windows handles the NIC correctly. Here is the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216251/. You need to choose standard pc. After that I installed the network card first and it WORKS.after doing above steps LAN is working, but vga card not works.I did a new windows XP installation and removed the ACPI at startup.

I have successfully created a USB installation routine for Windows XP using Multiboot.cmd. The problem i am having is that the installation works perfectly on evry machine i have tried it on apart from Dell machines.
It gets as far as Setup is Starting Windows (after loading in all the background drivers) and then Blue Screens with error 0x0000007b. I have scoured the internet and found nothing of any use on this error code.
It does state that when installing from USB to ensure that no other USB devices are plugged in but the mouse and keyboard themselves are USB devices.
HI, I just installed windows 2000 professional onto my computer. Everything works fine except that the resolution is really grainy. On some web sites I cannot even make out what the words are. I found out that when I go into my monitor settings in display properties I am unable to install the drivers for my monitor. Does anybody know a way in which I can get around this.
video card on my laptop messed up somehow, i can see a exclamation mark on the device manager in the display drivers tab... now im searching to update my driver but cant find any sources that would suit xp windows now everything is very laggy cuz it shows im not using any video card or something like that anyway?
I purchased a SIIG PCI firmware adapter. It has no drivers and says that it will use Win XP drivers. Well I installed the board and booted the pc, Win XP recognized the hardware but could not find any drivers. I tried unplugging it manually, installing it in another card slot with no luck. I took it back to my pc dealer and he plugged it in his system and had no problems. I decide to try another brand, an IO Gear GIC1394.
I am using XP SP2 and I would like to know how exactly do you create a boot CD? I do not have a floppy drive so cannot create a normal boot disk. I also do not have a Windows XP installation CD either as one did not come with the PC.
A friends HP Media Center PC m7077c crashed. Had no recover disk, etc. Installed XP Pro SP2 and I need drivers (according to Device Manager). No sound is obvious but video controller is not. Video seems okay. Where do I find drivers for this machine. XP Pro, Home and MCE are different OS's ... as far as my experience. The drivers are not the same.
Whenever i install drivers on my pc, (i've tried graphics card drivers and wireless network card drivers) my pc stops working. When i installed the graphics card drivers, i tried testing the graphics on a game (counter-strike) but as soon as i got into the game, the pc flashes a blue screen, and reboots. I cant see what the blue screen says because it flashes on and off again to quick for me to read it. I decided to uninstall the graphics card drivers, and the game worked perfectly, but the graphics were REALLY bad. So i thought i might need to update some other drivers, so i tried to install my wireless network card, but when i finished installing the drivers when i had to restart my computer, it flashed the BSOD.... AGAIN! I need help urgently as im going to a LAN gaming comp called "rezidue" and its on in 2 weeks, i need my pc fixed by then! All these problems started when i upgraded my CPU. Everything was running smooth, and i was happily playing along on my computer, when i was asked what my FPS was in counter-strike, and i was all "mine are 65!" and there like "wow that sucks, mines 130" so i set out on my epic quest to get better FPS then everyone else and MAN THAT WAS A MISTAKE. I upgraded from my celeron 2.8ghz cpu to a P4 3.0ghz HT cpu, and thats when things started messing up on me. My entire system is as follows (incase it can help someone help me) P4 3.0ghz HT CPU, Microstar P4 motherboard, 128mb Nvidia Geforce mx4000 AGP x8 graphics card, 256MB ddr ram (recently brought new 1GB ddr ram off ebay just for rezidue! should be here soon!) TP-LINK 54mbps wireless network card) And last but not least
I just recieved an IBM laptop while downloading some software, it was suggested by the site that I should download all the updated drivers. I am very wary of this advice because I don't want to fix something that doesn't seem to be broken, but at the same time, I would like to be up-to-date. I am running XP Pro, how I should proceed? And where I might safely download such drivers?
I recently created a new "File Type" for file extension "H" (C source header files) and changed the "Open with" setting to that of my favorite text editor. Now, as expected, my "H" extension files have my text editors icon next to their names and when I double-click on an "H" extension file, the file opens in my favorite text editor. All good so far.Next, I created a new "File Type" for file extension "C" (C source files) and changed the "Open with" setting to that of my favorite text editor. When I double-click on a "C" file, the file opens in my favorite text editor as expected, however, the "C" files icon has not changed to that of my text editor and when I close & re-open the "File Types" dialog I do not see the "C" extension entry at all.
anyone know the best program for creating new icons and/or editing existing ones? "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."
I'm wondering, is it possible to create a folder right beside the favorites in IE7? (Just to the left of the tabs.) I know folders can be created inside of the Favorites folder, but I was wondering if there could be a folder created right beside it, or in some place else that it would show up there or also where the Favorites is on the right side of the start menu.
I accidently deleted the userinit.exe file, creating the log on/log off problem. I have gone into the recovery console, navigated to C:/WINDOWS/system32, but when i tried "copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe" it says the system cannot find the file specified. Help ?
I have an issue here. I have a computer with a faulty version of Windows with some features missing. Basically, I have a Windows XP CD and I want to reinstall windows without reformatting. What i'm thinking of doing is setting up partitions C: <- For the new Windows Installation D: <- Previous Installation and maybe: E: <- Ubuntu F: <- Swap partition I don't want to use the previous installation, I jsut don't want to spend several days backing everything up.
how do i create a batch file to change the proxy in IE? a batch asking Home or Company is fine. If it is at work, then apply the proxy addresss and port and bypass proxy. Else, turn off proxy.

I have ghost 2003 installed on my pc and want to create a Recovery Disc (Windows XP and installed drivers). The only problem is I have no floppy drive. Could anyone give me step by step details on how to do this. I have tried ghost boot wizard (need a floppy).I have tried Disk to Image and then Image to Disk. I wiped out all that was on the 1st drive (C) and Partition (D) and all that was on the 2nd drive (E). I don't know how it happened but it did. I have now reinstalled Windows and all the drivers but I still want to make a recovery disc.
I am trying to create a boot disk for my Windows 2000 Professional system. I saved the files boot.ini, ntdetect.com and ntldr. When I restarted my system to test the disk it told me that the boot file did not exist and it was also asking for this file ntoskrnl.exe. Now when I tried to save this file to a disk the file was to big. What can I try so I can create my boot disk.
