Hello again. I thought there maybe corrupt files thats why I asked you to run SFC /SCANNOW. Do you have a vista install disk?

Hello and welcome. :)

Hello there you need a full install disk not recovery disks. Do you have a full install disk? Does the error say missing or corrupt?

Command prompt: Click start/all programs/accessories/right click on command prompt and choose run as admin. Printer: Click start then click on network/click on tab that says network sharing.Then set to share. Click start then click on network/click on tab that says add a printer. Try that for me as Vista is unlike XP things take a little longer and a few more steps to setup.

So you got an error but you can still login to XP. Realy to repair the XP you would need the install disk. And thankyou for recommending your friend. :)

That would be good let me know how it goes and you are very welcome.

Let me add these links for you for you to use if needed in the future: TalkTalk Members - HG520S Wireless Router will not configure using CD TalkTalk Help & Support Search there and answers are given. You could possibly reinstall the router/modem and make a new key.

CONFIGURING A SECURE WEP-128 WIRELESS CONNECTION Open up the correct router admin page by browsing to http://192.168.1.1/home_wlan.html[url=http://192.168.1.1/][/url] (or click the link for direct access) If prompted enter the username and password, by default these are both "admin". Without the quotes obviously. Scroll down to SSID, initially its set to "TalkTalk520", and set it to something that you will remember. This is the name of your network and will be visible to everyone. Try not to make it your surname or address, choose something else. MAKE A NOTE OF IT. Where it says "Authentication Type" choose WEP128bits and the router will have a little think and present you with a section entitled "WEP". In the "WEP" section ensure that "Key#1" is selected and then enter a pass phrase. This must be 13 characters and/or numbers long. This is your wireless password so, again, make sure its not obvious and MAKE A NOTE OF IT. Scroll down and hit SUBMIT to save this Your wireless config is now complete.

Choose your security type where it says "Authentication Type". I use WPA2-PSK and this should work if you have a modern computer. under the WPA-PSK section ensure the is set to TKIP and then enter a pre-shared key. This is your wireless password so, again, make sure its not obvious and MAKE A NOTE OF IT. Scroll down and hit SUBMIT to save this. Your wireless config is now complete.

That is brilliant. It could be plain and simple hardware failure or over heating caused the problem.It is hard to say but at least your up and running now. JB.

Jay here you go a link on how to remove Win 7 from a dual boot. How to Uninstall and Remove Windows 7 or Vista Leaving Windows XP on Dual Boot System My Digital Life

Hey Jay you need to edit the boot.ini I am trying to find a link that is easy to follow. However the XP disk would of been a good idea to use.

I think you need a new graphics card sorry to say.

I asume you installed Pro? Did you exit that popup box or cancel it then login?

I use AVG and have done for some time and have been very happy with it. Do you have the latest service pack installed? If yes then try this: How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions? I hope this helps? JB.

Hello,sorry on my own tonight so slow in giving answers. Could you right click on command prompt and choose run as admin then in command window type sfc /scannow and hit enter on your jeyboard,tell me final results please. In Vista have you enabled wireless printer sharing?

When you start your computer is it giving options to logon to XP and Win 7 or just XP?

Hello again,your very welcome. Ok first lets try the latest driver for the card: Use drop down boxes to fill in your information: Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers Then click graphics card driver button for your latest driver. Oh yeah the card would be hot.:) Is there a fan on that card and is it spinning freely? Speedfan is not even registering your graphics card the temp is showing your CPU.

Have you tried last known good config or booting into recovery console?

Hello and welcome to the forum. First thing I would do is power off the computer. Disconnect from power outlet. Open her up touch power supply for a few seconds. Give internals a good clean. Make sure if the graphics card is PCI slot then resit it into its slot. Check any internal and external cables or even try diffrent external cables. Download and run Speedfan and psot a screen shot for me please: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer Let me know how it goes. JB.

Hey again. Ok open command prompt via right click and run as admin. Type in sfc /scannow and hit enter please tell me the end result. Ok now I am not sure of this one but could you enter BIOS/setup and check if there such thing as USB support enabled or disabled in BIOS.It should be enabled if it exists in your BIOS.

Hey there your free space appears fine.Although a good cleanup of old files and programs no longer needed would help. Click start/all programs/accesories/system tools/disk cleanup and check all boxes and do a cleanup. Defrag your hard drive. Also can you open command prompt and type in chkdsk /r and hit enter you will proberly get a message cannot run at this time would you like to schedule.Type Y hit enter and restart your computer and let chkdsk /r run. Scan your computer using this online scanner it will tell you what RAM to buy and how much your PC can have installed: Memory upgrades from Crucial.com - About Crucial:Media Toolbox Download this and post results of SpeedFan please a screen shot would be good: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

Hello and welcome. As your monitor works fine on another machine then it appears your GPU is the issue. Do you know if your graphics card is a PCI slot one? If it is try resitting it into its slot and give computer internals a clean while powered off. JB.
