Sorry for the premature sending, here is the complete request: Computer T43 2687-D4U, 15" Flexview XP SP 3 with all updates, Mandriva 2009
OK, About two weeks ago, faced with ongoing and unsolvable wireless problems in Windows, I reinstalled Windows. Over the course of a week, I got all my essentials back and life was good. Then, suddenly two days ago, things froze while in Windows. I was trying to access a music file at the time in Media Player. When I re-booted, things froze at the XP splash screen. When I put in the rescue disk I can look in events log and get two different errors, one which corresponds to the time of the freeze: "RRU Co create Instance error -2147024894 error creating event system!" I also have another error "OPERAFAVS Writing file error 7" I thought to boot into safe mode, but am flummoxed: pressing F8 doesn't get me there, I eventually get to the Mandriva screen offering itself or Windows, but no safe mode. The request: either HTH do I get into safe mode or any ideas as to what the problem might be here. When I search for the RRU error I get all sorts of problems that occurred subsequent to installing a new video card, not my situation. MS search also came up empty handed.
