375788 2005-07-27 01:55:00 I am having a problem with a compaq laptop. Everytime you boot it up it goes to the shutdown screen. It gets to the part where it loads the wallpaper and goes into a state that looks like it's trying to shutdown. It isn't the actual Windows Xp shutdown procedure as it has no text saying that, it just has the similar style image etc...

It happened after my friend tried installing Jetstream. I tried booting to safe mode, loading the default bios settings and loading the last known configuration with no luck. I did some brief google searches with nothing aswell. I'm hoping people with a compaq laptop have had the same problem!

Specs-
Windows XP Home Service Pack 1
Compaq Presario 2500

375789 2005-07-27 02:34:00 what happened when you tried safe mode ? drcspy (146)
375790 2005-07-27 02:41:00 Exactly the same thing. All the options at the F8 menu do the same. FiveOneFive (8518)
375791 2005-07-27 02:43:00 If the operating system is Windows Home, will the Windows Xp disc work for a windows Repair? FiveOneFive (8518)
375792 2005-07-27 03:00:00 a repair install may cure your probs of course however being a compaq you most likely dont have a windoze disk ?....... drcspy (146)
375793 2005-08-02 10:23:00 The same thing has happened to me in the past. It turned out that the battery was flat and the DC adaptor was turned off at the wall by accident. You never know..... I hope that's all that your problem is, or that it is now well solved. Cheers
