| 687691 | 2008-07-10 21:12:00 | Hi Guys, I have a friends laptop that comes up with several blue screens of death when booting up and when logging on to various users. It is a Compac Pressario V6000 running XP. I think it has been infected with trojans etc. Unfortunately there is no System Restore Point that I can roll back to. I am running several anti-malware tools on it. Is there anyway I can run an OS refresh etc to put it back to standard ? |

| 687693 | 2008-07-11 02:08:00 | There are several. They come up when I click on a User. They system shows the Blue Screen of death then tries to re-start and another BSOD comes up. Here they are K-mode exception not handled Bogus Driver Bad Pool Head Maximum wait objects exceeded No more irp stack locations Sys Intervals great site Page Fault in non paged area Unexpected Kernel mode trap There are other issues with this machine. Should I mention them here or on a new thread ? |

It has XP on it. I have installed and repaired XP on desk tops using my XP disk. But as this is a Laptop and a Compac I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions ? |

And I have got it going again. Just got to set up software etc. Brilliant thanks a lot. |

| 687700 | 2008-07-11 12:50:00 | Once you've got it going again, is a good idea to do this If the Recovery Manager cannot access the hard drive to fix the system errors, use the set of Recovery disks that you created to recover the hard drive to its original condition :punk |
