giantsfan42 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Posted March 7, 2008 i am using windows xp professional. All i can bring up is task manager but cant get anywhere from there Quote
JEBWrench Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Okay, the start menu and taskbar don't load up either? What programs come up as running when you're running task manager?

Seth Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 From the same Safe Mode menu, try Last Known Good Configuration. If that doesn't work, go into Safe Mode with a Command Prompt and type in the following to initiate System Restore: %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe ...and if that doesn't work, we will to know the make and model of the PC, as well as if you have an XP cd.
