Hi all, my pc for some reason wont boot into windows after about 2mins after turning it on it seems to get stuck on the desktop picture bit. I can not use safe mode neither, I seem to recall that there was a command to use at the a prompt to fix this sort of thingbut for the life of me, cant think of it. Cheers
 
When did this behaviour start? Had you just added/removed any hardware/software, had a virus infestation, major crash?

You could try booting from an ME boot floppy ( if you haven't got one) - and try running scanreg /restore. But its a bit difficult giving advice without any clues as to what might have started problem.
 
Hi, I have no idea what caused this, no new hard ware has been installed and I havnt been using the pc on the net, so I doubt it is a virus.
 
Okay I have now fixed this thanks, I used a bootdisk and ran scanreg, reddoted the pc and it went into windows straight away. Cheers
