Computer troubles - Need help

dark-guardian · 07-03-2004, 12:16 PM

As sone of you know im having computer troubles at home (im at my libary). When i try to load windows I get a blue screen saying that theres a bad installtion and i need to disable caching and shadowing or remove the installtioin that i recently installed. but the thing is that I didnt install anything recently. It then tells me that to disable caching and shadowing I need to access the advance options. When I check the advanced options theres nothing that says shadowing or caching...I would of just lived with the problem but I cant access my account on windows and therefore I cant open up any programs, go on the internet or anything else. I dont think this is a virus becuase I scanned my computer 2 days before this started to occur and Norton Anitvirus didnt find anything wrong.

Any1 has this problem and knows how to deal with it?

PLEASE first post your COMPUTER SPECS. Then I'll give further instructions...Cant do anything if I dont know rather you have Windows Xp, 2000 ect...

dark-guardian · 07-03-2004, 12:55 PM

Windows xp home edition
256mb
Dell
Is all u need?

Ah I thought you had WinXp or Win2000 because these error messages dont show for another Os. First off I need to know do you get the messages AFTER you try to open a program? If so which programs can you open. By the way have you installed any new HARDWARE such as a new mouse, keyboard,scanner, printer ram, harddrive ect...? Because these error messages are usely caused by new hardware installations.

Try reseting your computer, and try getting the service pack if you want to keep your files. The same thing happened on my pc and laptop.

sounds like some of your system 32 kernel files are screwed up........reinstall windows xp, and if you dont have the 1st service pack for it, then get it.

btw does anyone know when service pack 2 is coming out?
