matt11601 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Yea you can....pop in your Windows XP CD and run setup...during setup you can choose to repair the Windows Installation you have on your comp BTW, have you tried booting in Safe Mode or using "Last Good Configuration" ????

+Elі Subscriber² Posted August 9, 2004 Subscriber² Share Posted August 9, 2004 velkymx I experienced the same problem when I installed SP2 Final, however it was just a monitor out of range issue , going into safe mode and re-installing my video drivers solved it, Have you tried this already?

canadian397 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 velkymx I experienced the same problem when I installed SP2 Final, however it was just a monitor out of range issue , going into safe mode and re-installing my video drivers solved it, Have you tried this already? Ya, that's what happened to one of the computers I was servicing. I finished install Windows Xp Pro over Xp Home and it went blank and I remembered the music I heard (It was that stupid activation screen). So I turned it off, turned it on and it skipped the screen and loaded, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJediMedia Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 What you should done is: Goto Safe Mode, then... Restart and try to see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velkymx Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 I actually think it goes back to my problem with my Western Digital HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
