Ok, I was downloading some new styles and stuff for Windows XP home edition and downloaded a logon screen that didn't work. I hit apply (not knowing it didn't work) and when I tried to log off ... it wouldn't. I shut down the computer and when I tried to turn it back on ... i got this message after the windows loading screen ... before I got to the logon screen. Thats exactly what it said in a box on a black background. Neither OK or CANCEL buttons work ... it just makes a beeping sound. I know it is because of this bad logon file I downloaded ... but I have no clue how to get rid of it because windows wont even start up. Will give credits if your work helps ... because this is serious. Thanks
maybe try reloading your computer by putting a special disc in that puts it back to facotory settings but you will lose loads of your programs etc.how are u on gr now then???
Using my dad's laptop to post on here ... and I'm trying to do this without losing info on my computer.
Restart and when it prompts you to push F1 or something to start in safe mode? That MIGHT do something.
Either run it in safe mode, like posted above, or boot your computer through the Windows XP CD. Reformatting may be an option to consider.
Reformatting will erase all of my info ... won't it ... and I don't want to erase all my stuff. And I posted that it won't even start in safe mode ... I get the same message.
Then, reformatting seems like the only thing you can do. If you really don't want to, call your Computer's Company. (Dell, etc..) If your computers company is dell, they have fee online tech support, its a live chat. Worked well for me. Cheers! ^.^
Free online chat? because I called Dell ... and they couldn't resolve the problem ... so they sent me to the advanced technicians ... and they said it would cost $100 for one call or $230 for a whole year of support. And I have no where near that money right now (im only 15) and my parents will kill me if they have to pay that much.
see now this is why i always back my stuff up every day just incase all i can say is if i rember maybe some one can help me with the keys on this but when its booting there should be a screen like HP, COMPAQ, DELL, etc. then windows loading should pop up ok before the windows stuff comes up i beleve u this one key and it takes u were u can do a system restore to like the before this all happen i forgot what the key was maybe some one will post to tell u anyways if that wont work do a reformat then good luck with it
You got an xp disc? Use the repair option on that. That should fix it.. if you dont got it, find a friend with it.
When you start up Windoes you can push something before it gets to the login screen (the part with white writing on a black background) and get to safe mode.
dude ur screwed go get a boot disk for windows xp and system restore from there, dunno wa all the safe mode rubbish is about, safe mode uses the windows xp loading thingy with the bar which is wat is causing this error, he downloaded a buggy one which wont load up therefore causing the system to have a hangover because its trying to load something thats not availible.... to put it simpley um yeah get a boot disk and jus load up system restore
