Hey Lt.

Nice to have you back, even though it's not a nice reason.

Are you getting the same error message each time you restart, or is this the first time.

and do you mean that you now have a completely black screen? or that the screen is black with that error message?

Please remind me what OS you are running.

Look forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW

it is the first time and it is a black screen with the error message my os is xp pro

OK Lt.

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode? (continually tapping on the F8 key during boot up, until you either get a beep or a menu pops up. Then use your arrow keys to navigate to Safe Mode, and hit Enter.)

LGW

no i have not tryed that but what would make my pc do that ? i am in the process of updating xp now

Hey Lt.

Just found a referrence to your exact error message.

Do you have your XP cds?

LGW

yes i do have my xp cds
