Were you installing sp2 by chance?

Can you reinstall windows?

Can you boot into safemode? If so, go to control panel, add/remove proggys and remove sp2.

reinstallin windows...ouch..could u maybe try to install windows "over" your current screwed up version?

 

[Slick5150]

It also appears to have screwed up your ability to spell or use any kind of sentence structure.

alright i got it working now again, you wont belive wut i had to do.....and no it wasnt sp2,, it was sumintg else....

i had to reboot in safe mode with command prompt, then i had to type in the following script to run system restore

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstruie.exe

damm windows

I didn't know you could do that from the cmd prompt. Thanks for helping yourself and teaching me a new thing.

LOL NO PROBLEM.....OUT OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH I HAVE ENCOUNTER, ID RATE THIS AS A MID-HIGH END PROBLEM........I MEAN, I COULDNT GET INTO ANYTHING ,,,NOTHING AT ALL

 

[Tarrant64]

Yeah, i've had similar problems before. I always end up having to do some weird what you would call mid-high end trick to get things going again. i've seen the dos screen too many times in my days of Win XP.

okay, so I've had mucho trouble installing "critical updates." I'm on dial-up and high speed isn't really economically available in the area so don't suggest that. I'll get half way through installing some update then the download will stop for some reason. If I reboot and connect to the internet again sometimes it will finish the download, or some times it will botch up to the point where when the update is installed it doesn't go through correctly because of a corrupt download. Is this common even for those on broadband connections? Is there some other way I can get the updates besides downloading them, I've spent literally days trying to download a single 2 mb update.

You can download most any of the updates somewhere else, and run them on your machine.
