Subject: Windows XP stuck at loading screenOS: not sureCPU/Ram: 800-900Model/Manufacturer: Gateway |
Comment: I deleted some file in regedit called "Classes" and ever since I deleted that, my computer won't get past the loading screen. I can't even log in by using safe mode, so system restore is impossible. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Reply: (edit)Boot off of a clean Windows XP cd ( your bios has to be set to boot from cd rom 1st ) choose Install ( Not > To Repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R ) at the first prompt. It will then search for a previous copy of Windows. When it finds your copy, it will stop at the next prompt and ask if you want to do a repair. Hit R at this screen. If it does'nt mention a repair > DO NOT continue. It will then copy a lot of files and appear to be doing a reinstall ( But its not. All your programs and data are safe, all you will lose, are your Windows updates )
