    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards

    Hello
    I want to format my 'C' drive and reinstall windows Vista Home Basic Edition for my 'compaq presario laptop.
    When I lived with my recovery disk, it has been fine until "loading windows files" and taking me to the recovery / restore point but not with the format options (GUI).

If I get the Windows Advanced Options menu screen, I can't move the highlighted selection to go in safe mode. System seems to freeze. Does anyone have a solution? Also tried F8, F2, F10 & F12 key. If I can get the Office recognize the resettlement drive, I can finish the job. It would be great!

    Hi LarryHoezee,

    • What is the reason to reinstall Windows XP on the computer?

    There is a possibility that the Windows XP installation CD is damaged or system Bios is not properly defined.

    I suggest that you check if the Windows XP installation CD works fine on another computer.

    If the installation CD works fine on another computer then I suggest that you contact Dell technical support to reset the default Bios settings.

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Satellite L40 - no sound after reinstalling Windows XP Home edition

    I really need help from anyone out there. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my Toshiba Satellite L40 after that I realized, there is no sound. I tried to install all kinds of updates, drivers and all, but still nothing.

    All make me is that I have no audio device.
    Grateful for the help as soon as possible.
    Holla.

    Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?
    Are you sure that you have installed all the drivers?

    Have you installed SP2 or SP3 for Windows XP? You must at least use SP2 for XP.

    And as said Akuma, check the Microsoft KB to the hoftixes. Before you apply this update, you must remove the driver. Otherwise it will not work.

    You can also search in the forum, there are already discussions on this topic.

    Hi Bobby Collas,.
     
    You must have a copy of the installation CD without which you can not re - install the OS again.
     
    If it were an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) installation, you can restore the factory settings. Contact the manufacturer to do the same.

  • How can I reinstall Windows 7 Home premium on my MSI FX600 OA if the recovery partition does not work?

    So, I bought this laptop MSI FX600. It had Windows 7 Home premium OA (OEM I guess). It also contains a recovery partition.

    After awhile, I had to reinstall windows, so I downloaded an iso of windows, put it on a USB key and reinstalled. but the product key doesn't work though I should be able to use it because it is not used by any other computer. How can I reinstall windows and activate with the product key OEM on the bottom of the laptop? somehow the recovery partition no longer works, so that will not help either. Also, where can I download the iso right for reassembly?

    too bad that I already fixed it. I installed the version English, but anyway my laptop only supports the Dutch version. Thank you for your abundant answers.

  • Where can I find Windows XP Home Edition?

    When I bought my laptop on Columbus Day 1999 the operating system that is on is Windows 98. I then upgraded to Windows 2000. However, I can't find Windows XP Home for sale anywhere on the Microsoft Web site. Is there a reason for this?

    XP has been suspended and is no longer sold by Microsoft or legitimate retailers.
