XP Pro Recovery/Repair
I tried installning a shareware called ATM MP3Rename and
just as it finnished XP crashed out totally. I had tried the program earlier the same day on WIN2K SP3 and all worked fine. Nothing helped when the computer crashed, not CTRL-ALT-DEL or trying to wait for the error report windows to show up. So I did a hard reset but when the GUI came up again it only stops att the screen after the bootsplash. Nothing happens there and the keyboard is not responding at all. I have created points of restoration but I don't know how to access those rollbak points now.. Thank you/ Ola. |

Start tapping the F8 key rapidly as soon as the BIOS startup screens show (before the first Windows XP Splash screen). Keep tapping it until the Windows XP Startup Menu appears. Try booting into Safe Mode from the menu and then run System Restore. Also try the "last known good configuration" if Safe Mode doesn't boot up. If that does not work then your next best option would be a Repair Install as per the instructions at http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm That will preserve your installed applications and user data files. Windows updates will have to be reinstalled. Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
