Jeeze, all the windows updates! 19+13+1! I did find a virus from the previous installation though, something called Padobot.F? It didn't sound too ominous in the description but now there are dozens of back-door Trojan Horses trying to slip in. Sooo glad this is not my puter......................

That's what I was doing! I also used the browse button to look for anything resembling explorer and couldn't find it. Doing that was how I figured out that restore wasn't there either. tjesterb, I tried the repair yesterday, that was how I got it this far but I couldn't get it any further. I also did a chkdsk. I honestly don't know what Kay did to her computer but she sure did it good!

OK, I got the task manager up, explorer.exe is nowhere to be found. Winkey+f and Winkey+E does nothing either. I did find System Restore but it says it's not there either. Gonna be a complete reinstall, darn it.

Well I managed to boot it up using the install CD, it made a few corrections and will boot now but there is no windows! No task bar, I can't right click, nada. I guess I'll have to reinstall windows?

Wonderful advice everyone, Corky only problem is I can't type commands! I'm gonna try and boot using the install cd and see what happens, I'm sure I'll be back screaming/begging for help! I will try the Knoppix second and take your advice last, Corky, in the first post. It sounds sort of complicated. Thanks for helping, I'll be back!

I am trying to repair a friends laptop that is refusing to cooperate. She is getting the blue screen on boot-up, Stop 0x24 error. I know what caused it, I know how to repair it, the problem I am having is how the heck do I bypass the blue screen??? If I get the screen with the boot up options, before I can type any commands, the blue screen pops up. If I try to boot in safe mode, the blue screen pops up. I can't even run a scan disk without that b

I may have to reconsider. Once I'm hooked on a product I'm tenacious. Thanks for all the replies, you've given me something to think about.

I'm considering switching from PC to Mac and need to know if ALL the stardock products I have purchased need to be purchased again. Can someone help? I've found an amazing setup cheap due to someone moving.
