Sorry for the non 914 topic, but I need some help. My Windows XP computer does not want to start up. It runs OK in safe mode, but not in real mode. I have tried the RESTORE function several times, no luck. I have both ATT and Microsoft antivirus programs running, and have removed any spyware or viruses.
Is there anything I can do short of a full recovery using the original machine programs? Also, should the CD/DVD writer work in safe mode? I can't get mine to work. I think everything else but the printer works. I was able to get most of my data onto a memory stick. Any suggestions will be appreciated greatly. Thanks, JoeO |

if you go the vid card route...
is it an AGP card or a PCI-E card, or is it onboard? or perhaps is it an oddity in today's computer world... a PCI unit? got a pic of the inside of the case? =) or S/N off the vid card? You might as well upgrade the video card while yo'ure in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) the extra Video speed/memory will help speed up the PC, too. |
