Windows XP Won't Load
I am/was running XP Home Edition, now it will not load. The progam is stuck
on the windows screen with the blue bar running under the logo. I have tried to restore the system, in the safe mode, to a previous time but that does not work. Please help me! |

My computer is a Gateway Performance Desktop. The installed XP program was
purchased separately. Yesterday, when a thunderstorm began I shutdown the computer immediately after the power briefly blinked. When I went to start the computer this morning the following screen appeared "Windows did not start successfully." I have not make any recent changes to the hardware or software. I can access windows in the safe mode and have tried to restore to a previous time it that way but it has not been successsful.

From the same menu where you got Safe Mode, try booting into Last Known Good Configuration. If that doesn't work, I'd do some hardware troubleshooting to ensure that nothing got fried. If the hardware is healthy but you still can't boot into Windows, try a Repair Install: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm If you don't know how to do hardware troubleshooting and/or don't have another computer with which to download tools, etc. then take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).
