Sucks...

My computer’s got a software problem…Well, windows XP actually…

Well, the windows would load fine until the GUI part showed up…Then the screen would go blank…I can hear the windows loading in the background, but can’t see nothing…I can even shut off the computer using my ESP by pressing the windows key…

What had happened was that I had 2 programs running for my VGA card, so I uninstalled both from the Add/Remove utility…Now when I started my computer this thing happened…

Then after restart, I accidentally restarted it when it was doing a blue screen system scan…Now it says that my System file in the windows directory is either missing or corrupt…

I tried reinstalling windows, but to no avail…I though it was my DVD so I took out the CD Drive from my cousin’s computer and put it in mine…

Still to no avail…I don’t even know if my Windows Xp CD is Bootable…Called a friend up so he’ll send out a bootable CD today…Hopefully that works, InshAllah…

Right now I am sitting on my cousin’s computer which is on dialup…It’s as slow as hell…:mad:…I am still making it run kicking and screaming…:smiley:

So now, I couldn’t leave you guys alone for a minute now, could I? So I had to be here…

Can any computer guy guru he’p me?

Need help…

Re: Sucks...

By now you should be able to work in Windows with the blank screen.
Atleast try reaching 'System Restore' ;)

Re: Sucks…

Did you try loading in safe mode? Try it and see if it works, if it doesn’t then its damaged.

if you see blank screen with no icons try to load iexplore.exe manually, does it work?

otherwise try to restore the system. I can’t think of anything else right now, but would post it if something occurs to me.

move this to comp corner though!!!

this might be helpful.

Re: Sucks...

Restart window in Safemode When restart computer press F5 or F8 and select Safe Mode

If you can get through then try installing Display driver

Other wise you can select Enable VGA Mode at start up screen (as mentioned above) that should let you in.

Once you have access to windows try System restore (if that option was enabled at the time of installation)

Re: Sucks…

Thanks…I tried the safe mode…It got stuck at a file called “alim1543”…Woudn’t load further…

I also tried the “last setting that worked”, that didn’t work, and I can’t maneuver well enough blind through Windows to reach iexplore.exe…

Right now it’s completely kaput…Only a Bootable CD might be able to salvage it…

There’s so much stuff in there, I can’t lose…Let’s hope the Bootable CD works, InshAllah…Pray for me…

Re: Sucks…

Thank you…That is helpful…

I’ll see if I can grab a startup disk from someone…

Thanks…

Re: Sucks...

hun? What kinna arabic is that? never came across anything like that before ... khair ...

smm .. press the win key + 'r' and type explorer.exe .... incase you want to open up Windows Explorer ... don't think that'll be of help though. Safe mode was the only option that I think could solve the problem but you say its not loading :( ... let me think of an alternative

Re: Sucks...

winkey + r won't work since explorer is not running..

you'll ahve to ctrl-alt-delete to bring up the taskmanager, and then under File, you select new task, and then explorer.exe

not sure if that'll solve his problem. ..

It would if I could see through the blackness...:D

Windows starting up but nothing coming onscreen...

Re: Sucks...

Nouman: I think explorer is running and the problem is with the VGA drivers ...
