Re: i think my driver is broken

Are you saying you cannot boot into Windows?

If so have you tried Safe Mode?

Safe Mode
--------------------------------------------------
Can you get into Safe Mode?


If you can access Windows and this is a new problem try System Restore:

System Restore
--------------------------------------------------
You might try a System Restore to a point prior to your problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

Re: i think my driver is broken

Did you use to run Windows 95 on this computer?

Anyway can you get into Safe Mode?

Also do you have your XP CD at hand?

Re: i think my driver is broken

it doesnt even get me to the screen where it says press so and so to get to safemode just black screen with cursor, and no, what happened was at some point my computer got turned off and it said windows has errors would you like to run it in safemode or regular, no matter which you chose it would instantly freeze, so i kept it off for about a month, turned it back on and it got loaded just fine except i kept getting a whole bunch of windows saying error cant load this or that. then one saying the driver may be damaged. and i have no clue where the windows 95 thing came from i set the system restore to october 12th 2008 and my computer had xp then.

Re: i think my driver is broken

If you have your XP CD then you can reload the system from scratch.

If you do not have this CD you can try ubuntu (it is free):


Download Ubuntu | Ubuntu

Here:

Ubuntu Desktop Edition | Ubuntu

https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

Otherwise in order to download you just need a PC with working CD drive and a blank CD.
