win XP keeps restarting
I tried to add a stick of memory and computer would not start. I took it out
and tried restarting with what was originally in it. It just keeps restarting. It gets to a point where I could choose restart in safe mode which I tried but then just restarts again b4 I get in safe mode. I took out the original memory and then reinstalled it to see if that would help, it did not. I tried using Norton Go Back to an earlier date, that did not help. I removed my sound card and that did not help. (that was a problem i had last year that caused similar situation). Can any one please help with some thoughts? -- Thank you, Phil

Hi Ted. I entered the recovery. I typed the first line of copy c:\ etc. hit
enter and said access was denied. Does this mean i am not logged on as admin? If so how do I logon as admin? I can not enter windows even in safe mode. -- Thank you, Phil "Ted Zieglar" wrote: "Black startup screen is briefly displayed and your computer restarts repeatedly when you try to start Windows XP" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314466/en-us --- Ted Zieglar "Backup is a computer user's best friend."

win XP keeps restarting
I suggest you show your computer to a professional technician. The
procedures outlined in the Knowledge Base article are for users having experience in these kinds of technical matters, as well as a lot of guts. It will be worth your money, particularly if you don't have a recent backup of your data. --- Ted Zieglar "Backup is a computer user's best friend." Phil wrote: Hi Ted. I entered the recovery.
