Posted February 8, 200520 yr HELP! I was updating a video driver, then restarted my computer. It takes a LONG time to boot up, then flashes an error message on the screen for a second, then restarts. I've tried holding down F8 to startup in safe mode, but it doesn't respond. Also, even when I have the win xp CD in while rebooting to try to repair the OS (yes, the CD drive is the 1st boot device), it won't recognize the CD either. I'm in a heap of trouble without my computer; please, any advice will save me from going insane. thanks!
February 9, 200520 yr Can you catch any of the error? Also, does a floppy in the drive boot the machine? (or at least halt the machine with an 'insert bootable disk' message?) Was the video driver update the only modification to the machine? -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?
