I also have a problem with XP. During installation everything goes well, until it boots up for the fist time. The computer can't get past the XP splash screen! :angry:

Check your hardware. If necessary remove some of it for installation and see if i works then.Quote:

You didn't do everything possible. Killdisk is your friend.
That, and clearing CMOS.
Taking the batery out won't clear it.
You have to drain it as well. Either by waiting 2 days to 2 weeks before putting the battery back in, or by physically shorting it.
So what advice did you get here?
Which was why I offered a consolation cookie to this thread. :)Code:1: check for a virus
2: check for a virus
3: get a better antivirus
4: fuck around with fdisk
5: update your antivirus
6: download some more useless programs to fuck around with fdisk
7: do a virus scan
8: mess around with your hardware and risk more problems
9: etc.........
10: etc............
11: etc...............
Hey, I thought that was my cookie. :o
Here's a whole tray of cookies for you!! :D
Can you guess what kind of cookies they are?

You could've saved your money and time if you'd followed my suggestion to download and run Memtest86.Quote:

Never mind, I'm used to being ignored... I have two teenage kids.
sorry, but it just isnt physically possible to save stuff to ram at shutdown
Update:
okay found out that fat man did a test on my ram and its fine. he formatted the hard drive properly and installed windows got it up and runningi gave him my motherboard drivers cd and OMG it crashed while loading the last drive.
Fat man thinks that something isnt working on the motherboard but will check and stuff.
So i was thinking, bust mother board, shitty cd rw i could get a new motherboard and b able to up my processor further!!!
so does anyone know of a quite cheap motherboard (thats in UK pounds) that does gfx card up to 8X AGP up to a 3000+XP atlon takes um.... ram (dunno what type but pritty sure its DDR) and will fit into a 'microcase' as fat man called it :rolleyes:

I think you need to try and interpret what this person says he has been told as if he's got the general idea but the details slightly wrong.Quote:

Does that sound right?
My reply was mindful that he isn't fully conversant with technicalities, and that he was probably told that Windows loads the registry into RAM and saves it to disk when it shuts down. If the RAM is faulty then what gets written back is corrupted.
Do you see? I'm not sure how well I've explained that.
