Evrypc : (

Does safe mode work(tap F8 and boot and select safe mode). Can you perform system restore from there?

Have you tried last known good configuration?

Sounds like some files are seriously corruptly-most likely a malware issue.

You'll probably need to do a repair install at least.

825561 2009-10-30 07:18:00 Thanks for all your replies. The laptop has sophos antivirus not CA, but thanks anyway gary. Blam, i cant go safe mode does same thing and last known good configuration doesnt work either. i dont want to reinstall cos theres important data + apps on there.... Wahh evrypc (15296)
825562 2009-10-30 07:19:00 You don't need to reinstall. But you will need to do a Repair Install

All programs and data are left intact. More info here:

825563 2009-10-30 07:32:00 Hmmm interesting. OK maybe ill do that. Is there a way of transfering files (backup) if i dont want to use DOS or take the hard drive out since windows is innaclesible.. evrypc (15296)
825564 2009-10-30 08:12:00 If the startup repair (EDIT:repair install lol) doesn't work try this:

You could try booting off an ubuntu live CD and then copying the files you want from your HDD to an external HDD, DVD or flash drive. Then just reinstall windows.

825565 2009-10-30 08:18:00 Yea-but I would export all the drivers first to save time.

BTW Darkstar-startup repair is for Vista and 7 only. XP does not have this function;)

evrypc: You could also try replacing the corrupted files with the ones on your XP CD using Recovery Console, but it would take more time and may not neccessarily fix your problem.
