If it is crashing on the scan disk, it is a problem with windows, or possibly a bad hard drive. Try safe mode, not the safe mode with network support. Any additional support that you might need, pm me or email me. Email in sig.*edit* also do you have the option for last known good configuration? also use the administrator account if you can then run a system restore in start > all programs > accesories > system tools > system restore. Then select restore my computer to an earlier time. Pick a date when it was workign. I would not recomend going back more then 2 weeks, if you were using your computer every day. This is just to try to help with file curroption. Also get more ram! xp crawls with a slow computer and no ram. Xp itself uses 128 mb so the restore is coming from your virtial memory, which is off of your hard drive. That means slow. Quote Selected

Reply #2 – August 22, 2005, 10:59:50 AM well i tryed to put in safe mode and it wouldn't go. so now im thinking of making a boot up disk and see if that will help get me into the windows main screen. also you know how the windows xp logo comes up with the loading bar it does that then after it does all of the checks its supose to go to the login screen and doesn't. so what elts could it be?
