For the unobservant, Lars Lofgren appears to be of Western European
residence. So please accomodate some latitude to his less than perfect
English. After all the rest of the English speaking world accomodates the
changes that have been wrought upon the language by Americans.
For Lars, Jim seems to have the best solutions unless you have any more
specific issues that you can identify.
The problems with restarting may have been occasioned by an attack from
Virus, Worm or Trojan. Use a good application to scan and remove any
infections.
If none are found, then try a Repair Installation of Windows. Set your BIOS
to boot up from CD and insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM Drive.
When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below
This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft
Windows XP to run on your computer:
To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.
To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
Press Enter to start the Windows Setup.
Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows
installations.
Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to
start the repair.
Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot. Do not
press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue
as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will
remain intact.
Blaster worm warning:
Do not immediately activate over the internet when asked, enable the XP
firewall before connecting to the internet. You can activate after the
firewall is enabled. Control Panel - Network Connections. Right click the
connection you use, Properties, and there is a check box on the advanced
page.
