Ok so today I started getting some errors that I'm not quite sure about. I'm at work right now so unfortunately I don't have the error right in front of me. However, it was multiple errors and I recall one of them being about "logonui.exe", "ehtray.exe", and one of them mentioning something about WTSAPI32.dll and another one saying something about being "inconsistent". I really wish I could upload screenshots of it or quote it word for word, but I can't unfortunately.
I might also mention that when I do manage to get into Vista, I can't open anything. My internet connection is gone, I can't get into My Documents, or My Computer, or Windows Explorer or anything. Literally nothing works. I can navigate sure, but I can't do anything. Even thought about running System Restore, but that didn't work either, came up with some error that I unfortunately can't recall.
Anyways, I decided that I'd prefer to just wipe everything clean and start from scratch, however, it seems my CD-ROM isn't working for some reason. I put in my Windows XP CD and restart my computer, only it doesn't boot to my CD. "Hmm" I say, so I go into bios and make that my only boot device. That doesn't work either.
Is there any way I can just wipe everything off my machine (no I don't want to save anything, I want to start from absolute scratch) and reinstall Windows XP? I don't know what's going on with my CD-ROM, but I know it works. Even when I login to vista (after clicking through numerous error messages) I manage to get into a view of My Computer and it says the drive is there, and it's properties say it's working properly, so I'm more stumped than I've ever been.
Please help.
