Went home for lunch. Screen saver is frozen. No mouse cursor.
Running Win XP on a 1.8g Pentium. (or 1.7 I forget - whatever, it's plenty fast).
So I soft boot.
Didn't even watch it boot, came back into the room, there's a message: cannot find win.com
huh?
soft boot again.
Comes up with the start menu with options (safe mode, etc.) and option 5 highlighted.
This option is for command prompt only. "Run ScanReg". Chose option 5.
Tried to run ScanReg, says: Cannot find win/himem.sys and 2 other sys files.
Hard booted, same response. Tried other start options. Can't find windows. :blush:
Hard booted, same response.
Do I need to re-install XP? And how do I do that exactly?
