| 658709 | 2008-04-14 21:56:00 | throw in the Windows XP install disk, choose the repair option & when you get to the command prompt type chkdsk /f. That should fix it | fnphoto (2434) | ||

| 658711 | 2008-05-05 05:58:00 | If this PC came with XP pre-installed, then the vendor may have set a non-blank password. Contact support. Or if you don't have important data, reinstall XP. | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
| 658712 | 2008-05-06 01:55:00 | No i installed it my self and set the password but the password says it is wrong and too much stuff on it to reinstall | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 658713 | 2008-05-06 05:30:00 | Got access to another PC? Go to support.microsoft.com and search for Q307545 Basically, what the procedure they describe does is locate earlier copies of the corrupt/missing registery files and use them to replace the damaged ones. Have you been using System Restore? |
