My laptop with Windows xp home edition will not boot up either normally or in safe mode. It begins alright but after logging in I get an error message saying "Runtime error '5'" "Invalid procedure call or argument"
I was able to run some diagnostics but so far everything checks out ok. It just won't boot up. I don't have a os disk or I would try to reinstall it.
Any ideas about what this error message is about? Any help would be very welcome.
Thank you

What was the last thing installed before this problem started?
