| 492190 | 2006-10-17 18:17:00 | I opened up desktop casing to clean it out and when I turned it on it sends me to an option screen to either go into safe mode or start Windows normally but when I choose to start normally it goes to the Windows XP screen and stays. If anybody can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. | prollematic (11022) | ||
| 492191 | 2006-10-17 18:26:00 | When it tells you to boot into safe mode, do so. Scan for viruses and spyware/malware. You may need to do a repair install of Windows. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 492192 | 2006-10-17 18:37:00 | Do you think you could give us more info? specs etc... How did you clean it out? Are you sure you didn't touch anything and discharge onto it? |

| 492193 | 2006-10-17 20:40:00 | I used a a vacuum hose with a narrow attachment. I mostly just used it to get the dust off of the sides with no parts on it. But I did move a black strip thing so it wouldnt get caught when I closed it back. | prollematic (11022) | ||

| 492197 | 2006-10-18 03:10:00 | A SATA hard disk uses a thinner connection than the older type IDE connection. The SATA cables are usually red. | pcuser42 (130) | ||

The SATA cables are usually red. just try this first during post of the bios press f8 ang get to the screen that said boot safe etc etc but choose last good config that worked it may do it for you...:) |

| 492199 | 2006-10-18 18:02:00 | I checked the SATA hard disks and everything is connected. And I used last configuration option and that didnt work either. | prollematic (11022) | ||
