[ultimatejester]

i dunno what the hell is going on but my computer has been freezing on me since i installed sp1 and sum other updates from windowsupdate.com. i am having a problem with my keyboard too. 2 days ago i connected an external keyboard to my computer and now all the keyboard keys of laptop are messed up. whenever i type
j,kl e.t.c the computer outputs 1,2,3 and so on and when connect the external keyboard all the keys work fine All of the alphabatecal keys are somehow typing numbers. i didnt have ne problem like this before. i could format my computer but i have got sum movies which i dont wanna delete and i dont have a cd-burner.

Nobody uses it nut I'll ask anyway: do you have the restorefunction active (XP or ME) cause if os you can go back to the date noting was wrong

[ultimatejester]

no i have system resore disabled and i didnt back up my orignal files of my OS and now i cant even uninstall sp1

[ultimatejester]

i have had enough of this shit already. I had to restart my computer twice in 10 minutes.

Can i install Xp over XP sp1

[zapjb]

AFAIR you can make a repair install. And that'll wipe out SP1 I believe. BTW did you choose complete or express install of SP1? Next time try an express install it's only ~33MB or less vs ~128MB for a full install. And some of that junk that's fn up your computer might not be installed. Hope this helps you. GL.

If you run XP pro Devil's own version then this might be the problem.

Every time I attempted to update that version I had exactly the same problem.

Solution.... Do not update!!!!!

Also run Norton Utilities (Norton System Works 2004 has a version in it) to check for corrupted files etc!!.


Good luck!!! B)
