had a pretty bad virus recently thought i had fixed it but te pcs been getting slower so i used a windows program to repair the infectedfiles

now when these files showed up the were listed as important systems file and couldnt be removed...so the scan finished ad had to restart the machine but iver since its been stuck on a rebooting cycle iv tried everything like trying to start in safe mode restarting from last good config lastly i tried stopinh the auto restart function and got a blue screen with an error Stop 0xC000021A or STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED

 

im stumped coz i cant even get by the xp splash screen

Was the same yesterday mate, posted up my fault and its now sorted.

 

Some great folks on this site ! :cool3:

 

Alan..

What's up ?

What's up with the PC?

pressed enter at the wrong bit there

edited the first post

should probably mention as well i dont have the xp disk and the f11 optopn to wipe hard drive and reinstall from the partition has disappeard aswell

I'd say to reformat the hard disk backing things up you want to keep first

Edit: same time posting there, ahhh ok you would need a xp install disk

wish i had one but hp installed everything before it arrived never got a disk at all

guess iv been luck though in the 10 years or so ov owning it this is the first major problem with it

If you had your disk I was going to suggest reloading just your boot files from it.

Looking like you might be best buying a fresh XP disk and starting again, there are plenty on ebay but be careful get genuine from a good seller, about £35.00 solves it yourself.

Sent you a pm

How old is your pc ?

 

If it's got at least 1gb mem and 1.6ghz or better you may

as well put windows 7 on it !

 

Install of windows 7 would take less than an hour !

would 7 not run slow with only 1gb of ram?

Surprisingly windows 7 memory management surpasses vistas

 

It will be quite happy running on a minimum of 1gb.

 

All depends what your doing with it I suppose, it's enough for

general duties and browsing the net but best to double it you

play games or do video or photo work.

Naaahhhh thats what i based it on (Vista) as i know that can struggle with low ram, i use an sp2 based xp-os but with vista elements like gauges and clocks, good to know W7 is not as gready for ram though!

the laptop im using the now came with vista but i hated it and installed xp but recently changed to 7 and its so much better not slow at all like vist was

Yeah lol my pc came with vista it was on there a week until i reverted back to Xp!!

never used vista before but heard that many bad things about it so just stuck with xp

In all honesty its probably the worst most unstable system they have ever made and there not my words lol!

I have Vista on my gaming pc, havent had any issues that havent been resolved as of yet, touch wood, I have xp on my works laptops again without issue so far, each to their own some peopel like some hate it.

 

Cheers John

It is each to there own indeed i know people that still run vista and swear by it but for the most part it was not compatible with older software and games upon release probably 99.9% sorted now through updates but i still change the odd one back to Xp when asked
