Yes.. When you put the disc in as soon as it says that close it.. Then type in the sfc /scannow
Is it an XP cd or is it a recovery disk from like HP or Dell etc?

If so go back to run and type in this
C:\WINDOWS\I386\WINNT32.EXE /cmdcons

Then after that is done do the sfc /scannow

yeah its defo xp home edition disc. the one u get with the booklets etc when uve had xp put on ur pc. so when i tried to run: sfc /scannow it stops and asks for professional disc 2 which i dont have, then when i tried the other option of run C:\WINDOWS\I386\WINNT32.EXE /cmdcons: this is what happend, did you a screen print, save me trying to explain.

any ideas on what to do now..?

Hmm. Lets try it this way..

Go to run.. type in command when the command prompt pops up type in sfc /scannow
Thinking somthing is not right. Hopefully going through the command prompt will work

And that other prompt will not work if you do not just have a recovery disc.. Since you have the real disc that wont run

no joy, that didnt work either. even that way asked me for professional disc 2, did try to do a screen print, but wouldnt let me print that screen for some reason.

any more ideas... on my geforce error microsoft troubleshoot said uninstall it, and it should be plug and play so install hardware again... should i give that a try... as i dno if thats just why somethings dont work, or u think that could be a cause of my crashes...

Yes you can unistall it and reboot you will have to reinstall the drivers again. DO not let Microsoft install its genereic drivers for it. When it says found new hard ware press cancel and install the drivers you have for it.

If fact let us do this..

does that mean, when it says found new hardware, cancle, and insert the disc for the graphics card... thats if i have one, will have a dig around now.

Yes.. If you can find it (I hope) because windows generic drivers are well bad lol.

But before that
