[slimpickin]

my daughter's computer is on the blink! when turned on the screen says windows error recovery then in the middle of the screen it says launch start-up repair, below that it says start windows normally. it is suppose to do whats high lighted in 30 seconds, but it always goes back to the same screen, "windows error recovery" any help i think i have to take it in to a computer geek!:

If "start windows normally" is highlighted, just hit the enter key, if it is not use the arrow keys to highlight it and then hit enter. Windows should start right up.

Hi Adam,

After the POST (Power On Self Test) begins, but before Windows begins to
load, repeatedly press and release your F8 key to get into Windows Advanced
Options Menu. Use your arrow keys to select "Disable automatic restart on
system failure" and press Enter. You should then get an "operating system to
start" menu, but press F8 to return to the previous menu, and select "Last
Known Good Configuration" and press Enter. Then select your operating system
and press Enter to start loading Windows. You can also try Safe Mode from
the Advanced menu also.

During that part of startup before Windows begins loading, you can press
your PAUSE/BREAK key to pause the display of any messages so you can write
down complete messages, including error codes, and then press CTRL+Pause to
resume the action. After Windows begins to load, you can also Pause the
display, but press Enter to resume.

What is your complete Windows XP version, including Service Pack?
(Home Edition, Professional Edition, Media Center Edition)
(Service Pack 1a, SP2, SP3)

What make and model of laptop? (how old?)
(Running on A/C or battery?)

What was the last thing you were doing before the problem appeared?

What other past problems have you had with your computer?

Do you have a Windows installation CD or OEM recovery partition?

Be advised that some "repair" options may result in loss of data. You need
to consider the possibility that it may be necessary to remove the drive
from the computer and hook it up to another computer as a slave drive to
copy your Valued Data before attempting recovery. If so, make sure that
System Restore on the other computer is set to NOT monitor your drive. The
other computer needs to have maximum anti-virus and anti-malware protection
