Hi and welcome to PC Help Forum

Did you try "last known good configuration" from the list?

yeah i tried that and same again. a friend just told me to do alt+F10 and still the same.

Sounds as though you're going to need to carry out a Repair Install of XP then.

how do i do that and its defult program is vista but i origionally wanted xp so is this a problem
