Re: Laptop problem

are you talking to us from a laptop or a desktop? How big was that stick of ram in the laptop your having problems with? Is it below xp's minimum spec? its possible it could be damaged do you have a laptop with the same kind of ram so you can test the problem laptops ram in the working laptop. and the working laptops ram in the problem laptop.

Try to work out if the hardware is damaged first.

Are you saying in safe mode you couldnt log in as the administator? because that wasnt entirely clear.

If you can establish its not a hardware issue then you need an xp cd (borrow one if possible) or torrent an xp iso. I think it does give you the option of attempting to repair xp when you boot from the disk. try that. if that doesnt work you'll have to start from scratch
