• Windows XP media center keeps going in a loop and will not complete the boot.

  Rebooted PC, probably because of an update, but I also dropped the mouse wireless in the word, and I don't know if that's the problem.  To start Windows and I have three choices, but if I choose safe, last known config, or normal mode, it ends the countdown and starts, but loops to the same black screen that has the countdown.  Help!   Thank you very much.

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  the problem is known as "boot loop" and it is generally caused by a lack of disk and file system tune up

  There are commands that can be executed in the disk prompt that will help stabilize the boot process.

  However, you need to start with any xp cd and launch the recovery console to log on to the disk system.

  then the disc prompt, run the following commands >:

  Chkdsk

  Fixboot

  FIXMBR

  (the fixmbr will provide a serious warning, but you can ignore the scarecrow)

  then the output, remove cd and the system should be able to boot normally again.

  you're not giving us enough information. When did it stop working? If it worked
  previously, I would recommend first trying to run Windows Media Player AND Windows
  Media Center, and then again. Control Panel, programs and features, tour
  Windows feature turn on or off. Uncheck the two programs, restart. Go back and turn them
  both on reboot. This solve your problem? Otherwise, you should try a system
  Restore to a point where everything worked normally, maybe early August? By
  wait, you have only made it more difficult to triage and solve your problem.

  Hello

  Do you have an error message when you try to install updates?

  I suggest that you put your machine in a clean boot State, then try to install the updates. I suspect the involvement of a third party software conflict.

  Hi BeeCees,

  ·         You have the two blank DVDs you have burned when you got the computer?

  ·         The Acer E-Recovery software does not give an option to clean install without saving the data?

  I recommend you contact Acer support for instructions on how to reformat their PC using the Acer E-Recovery software without migrating their data on.
