i was poking around in the "advanced" tab of the system properties on my winxp box and i saw an option to use the system ram for either programs or cache. it was setup for programs and i though since i have a gig of ram that if i set it up for system cache my machine would be faster. after i restarted, i get delayed write failed c:\$MST and dozens of other similiar messages. this is as far as i can get (the login screen) i cant even get into safe mode to change the setting back, it just hangs when loading MUP and then restarts after a while. I did poke with the recovery counsel to try to back up my inmportant data, but every time i tried accessing the "documents and settings" folder, i always got access denied. i really need help. i dont care if i have to format, i just need to get access to back up my email from outlook. all help is appreciated. (PS, lesson leaned)
the worst part is that my server that i back everything up to daily failed and i did not know this until my workstation failed. so my backup did not backup. when it rains it pours. i am offering a paypal reward for a solution that allows me to get my email backed up or better yet, change that stupid setting back.
