Sorry for that, it's that Hugh, too mean to get his own thread. >From your posting (copied below) I'd suspect that the partition had got some files corrupted or deleted
Possibly a power glitch during closedown - as a reboot, and recovery doesn't fix it, and I presume you've run a check for malware and got a backup of your data then re-install is possibly the fastest option JimB ---------------------- Original message from Andy Cafferty: Just booted my PC up after a 2 day break from it. When I shut it down, everything was fine, now that I want it to restart, nothing works. The thing boots into windows OK, but if I try to start a program, I get told that windows can't open *whateveritry*.exe. Also, all my program links don't work, they look like "Firefox.lnk" and when I click on them, I get an error like above. Same errors when I boot into safe mode and system restore doesn't make any difference. I have a parallell XP64 install that still works OK. Any ideas on what to do? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Cafferty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 7:25 PM Subject: Re: Windows XP Boots, but won't do anything! Here was me thinking I had loads of replies to my question, but alas they were mostly to someone else... Ah well... If anyone remembers my original problem, the power off didn't work. I'll reinstall Windows and see what happens. -- Andy -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
