| 195589 | 2003-11-28 22:23:00 | I have a new computer and had xp pro installed...worked fine. Then installed tweek....and zone alarm....and a couple of others. Works fine but come to restart the machine. I have since unistalled tweek. I get my settings...and user page. press my settings...installs and all I get is this dam open scenery page of hills. I cannot open anything. ONLY if I open task...then I can get in through my computer. However...I cannot get to control panel to make any adjustments. I tried a reinstal but it wont let me ..keeps telling me to reboot and will install a required file by itself...but it doesnt. HELP....at the end of my tether. Suggestions welcome...even if I have to try and reinstall....but then how should I approach that as it wont let me do that now anyway. Looking forward to your replies. David only |

If you insert your XP cd and reboot you should get a screen with options to reinstall etc. If the cd doesn't fire up you'll need to go into the bios to make the cd drive the 1st drive to check when booting. To get into the bios it's usual to just hold the delete key while after pressing the reset button. However some bios's start differently - you'll need to supply motherboard info. |

| 195591 | 2003-11-28 23:50:00 | Xp has a repair feature that may help you get back up and running without have to reinstall. The other thing you can do is load up a Restore Point that worked before you did the install of those programes and see if that helps. | Odin (227) | ||
