sounds like you have a corruption in winlogon.exe. try rebooting the pc and constantly tappin f8, choose boot into safe mode,,if you can get into safe mode do a system restore.(if you dont know how to post back)..... the olny other thing to do is try a repair install boot from the xp cd (make sure bios is boot from cd rom,,,at startup tap "delete key) change boot device to cdrom.. wack ya cd in and restart boot from in.....it will go through normal setup rubbish,,,,,press r when promtped to do a repair install .not r to boot to recovery console... this will thenn re-install xp over itself.leaving your data intact. let me know if my answer ia too complex i will try my best too simplfy it. sorry for any typos i have been up since 5 am......... regards danzil

i hsve replied to your other post danzil

try downloading aida32 this is a system diagnostic tool that tells you mostly wot hardware is in your systems.... if you do indeed have sdram..then it is qiute old no matter how much ram you wack in it the cpu may not be up to the job. what cpu do you have get aida the let us know regards danzil

can you give us more info...what url doesnt work...where is the ftp server stored is it yours.....etc etc regards danzil

in the bios set all devices to boot from cd,that may help.clean the cd will a soft cloth....what laptop do you have......do you have a auto recovery already built in...will say something like pres ? for system recovery or something similar. regards danzil

more info is going to be needed. what router do you have. are you connecting wirelessly or through ethernet.... can you ping web pages start>run. type in cmd then in the dos box type ping http://www.bbc.co.uk if you have active internet you will receive a reply. what lights are on on your router regards danzil

try downloading unlocker from http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ regards danzil

try removing your cmos battery for 30 mins,then plugging just ram,cpu and graphics card (if it aint on board) then try powering it on.....is there any beeps.if not then 90% chance the motherboard is at fault....even if the cpu is dead the is usually a rapid beep...ram faulty slow steady beep.no graphics long ass beep. regards danzil

hey there maynerdvdm you will be there soon enough mate.

try resitting all your internal parts,,,ie memory graphics card etc...etc.....no static though...# do you have a spare stick of ram you can test with.... do you have an xp cd.. regards danzil

the 0x0a partof the error message means..that a kernel-mode process or driver attempted to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel interrupt request level (IRQL) that was too high. A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own. This Stop message is typically due to faulty or incompatible hardware or software. so best try and et into safe mode and try a system restore... what was you doing prior to tis error. regards danzil

you could try running it straight into the wall socket but i dont think that is the issue... the main thing we need to know is are there any beeps coming from the machine....is everything sat in correctly...maybe worth resitting your ram and cpu,as a quick test... let me know how you get on regards danzil

check this out http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm i have tried blocking the whole domain in my internet explorer and it still gets through.mmmmmm do you use a router firewall.you may be able to block it via that. regards danzil

best thing to do is do not power the old hard drive on till you have your new one...data still may be recoverable on it by slaving it... let us know how you get on. regards danzil

take your ram out first cleaned it using a soft brush,use the brush to clean out the ram ports.....how many sticks of ram do you have,,,try one at a time, give that a go first......need the error code really. regards danzil

you could set the bios not to reboot on errors...then when ypou get the bsod we will see the full error not just a flash of it. regards danzil

what you need to do is load it up and then click on mainboard,,,it will then tell you your motherboard make.if it doesnt go to usb and then tell me what it says in there....... what is wrong with your back ports...read my last post regards danzil

have you tried allowing windows to control the wireless card... goto >start>control panel>network connections in there right clikc the card then tick "show icon in notification area when connected"... you should then see the icon in the bottom right hand side of your taskbar..... try setting the connection up manually in windows...some of the software you get with these devices is rubbish.... m\ke sure ssid and encrypion settings are correct,and the key is set as shared or open as to how yours is... regards danzil woooo hooooo 300th post

did you get any kinda cd with the drive... have you tried searching, for a driver....i have read that xp doesnt need a driver.but hey may be worth a like. i will take a look asap. regards danzil

i agree with randyl. try the hard drive as a slave in another pc...backup your data... i advise you not to leave this to long,the longer the hard drive is in use ,the more likely chance your data will be unretrievable. as you stated in the bios the drive, is recgonised as a aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,,this is NOT correct.so all point to hard drive failure unfortunatly. regards danzil

do you have s-video connection,or a tv out connection......vga should be ok tho...update all your graphics car drivers...check all s ettings regards danzil

you will NOT be able to do this legally.....the progs installed on that machine is for that machine.......not for two.... the only way to do it quickly is to as you say clone the hard drive......casper xp is great for this....i believe in 98 its called drive to drive cost £30 i think, there may be some good freeware progs out there but im not 100% sure of any good ones. regards danzil...... ps it can be done,but will take ages and isnt fun lol

check to make sure all external speakers are away form the microphone you are using.... make sure the mic isnt on boost and full volume...... is it speach you are recording.....please give more info.........good to speak to you again regards danzil

do as above if you still have this bug.......onecare scan is great at picking up this mailware regards danzil
