Computer Troubles
Hmm, I have a problem with my computer.
When I start it up, it'll come up with an error screen asking me how I want to start up windows. I choose Start Windows XP Normally.
All is well, but once the loading screen (Windows XP with the little blue/green bar) My computer shuts off and resets. Help please?
*is posting from school*
It's asking because it never fully loads XP. Try booting in safe mode, and tell what happens.
And then there is Death
inse rt your windows xp boot up floppy's and choose the repair option if that doesnt fix it reinstall xp..
Try using the Last Known Good configuration; if there's a registry problem, that should fix it.
(Just note that Last Known Good configuration is only effective on unbootable systems, since that copy of the registry is written at system startup--hence, if you're able to get logged in, you're already using it)
If Last Known Good Configuration fails, try loading safe mode and having a look at Device Manager; Any hardware with a red X or black exclamation mark in a yellow circle has a problem with it; double-click on it and post the diagnosis
EDIT: If you're not getting an option for Last Known Good, just hold F8 while you're booting up to get your boot options menu.
