Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any and all help you can provide. I was running a dell dimension 8400 desktop and this morning when I downloaded a file and tried to use it, it crashed my system to the blue screen. I figured if I restarted I would be able to get back to windows and get rid of the file since my anti-virus software seems to have done nothing. Now everytime I start my computer it gets to the part where it is loading windows (I am using XP) it just crashes to the blue screen. I tried safe mode and that didnt work either so I am out of ideas. I dont have a restore cd and my xp cd is in another city so im wondering if i have any options at all. Also in case you were wondering I am sending this message from my laptop that isnt broken.
