My computer just went tits up

[clocker]

Just run the damn Windows repair.

LOL yeah Im with clocker do a XP system repair. If your disk doens't have th eoption or doesn't work. Go to a friends and DL a copy of XP (updated oc) and use that one. If not you're going to have to do a full re-install homie.

[Skiz]

Why would I download a copy of XP when I have 2 of them already?

I did however go out today and buy this to tide me over.

The TSG fella at work today said to bring it to him tomorrow and he'll have a look when he gets home. I'll be sure to report back any pertinent info or solutions.

that all looks like some hardware conflicts. plus registry corrupted.
this once helped me solve a kinda similar problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545

now, maybe try a full reinstall of your drivers. go to www.drivermax.com and install their autodetection software. I know you haven't internet access, but if your ethernet port is working, and you have a router, you can get it sorted out.

well im with Cabalo, it seems that uninstalling this software made your computer go wild, and you also checked the device manager which showed a missing driver. So why not try installing that and not doing a system repair?

ps: also it could be a registry issue. try also checking IF there are any known problems on your hardware due to incompatibility with xp.

[clocker]

Or he could run the system repair, which rebuilds the fucking registry anyway.

Just sayin.

For the THIRD time.

Repair will work but so will just re-formating the hard drive If you unsure of the XP utility grab this...obviously you have internet access or you wouldn't be posting.

Nah, I reckon much more complicated solutions are the way forward, a pox on your very-likely-to-work-with-no-hassle suggestions!

Clocker, what do you think he should do?
