Guest debba Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 This morning when I booted up my computer, I received a message similar to this: General Protection Error. You Must ReStart Computer. System Halted. I've fought this problem all day. It will start in safe mode but most of the time from there, I can get on the Internet. I've tried System Restore but it did not help. Any suggestions???? thanks.

Guest debba Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Re: General Protection Error at start up Last night, I updated Shockwave. I used the computer for a while and then shut it down. Then, this morning, I started getting the error. So I did a System Restore that was a few days old. The System Restore did not help so I reversed the Restore Operation. The subsequent restart did O.K. and that's why I'm able to be on the Internet right now. I'm afraid that when I shut down for the night, I'll be back to square one. Thanks.

Guest Greegor Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Re: General Protection Error at start up Is this what happens when software for one version of windows is installed on another version of windows?

It shouldn't but remotely could, only if it did, SR would have taken care of it, IMHO. The one in the know about this subject isn't around anymore, sad to say. Wonder if he stops by every once in a while, without saying anything. I am speaking of Shane, of course. Unless someone else here has some specific knowledge about this, hopefully.
