Joined Oct 19, Messages , I think it's time for a repair install of Windows. All you do is boot from the CD. When it asks if you want to repair and to press "R", don't. Continue with the installation just like you were installing for the first time.
You will then get a license agreement and it will ask you to press F8 to agree. Right after that screen, you will see a list of Windows installations that setup found.
It will ask if you want to repair it. Read the directions on that page!!! Then, you will actually press "R" this time and XP will re-install. When done, you will be back to your familiar desktop with everything looking just like it did before. But all your Windows Updates are gone and you will need to get those again.
JohnWill Thanks for the reply. I have made backups of my data and main c drive, just in case! I have also looked at other posts regarding repair install, and I must say I am now quite scared to do it!
However, I am going to have a go. Sorry to take your time to clarify this, but I really want to get it right! Joined Apr 23, Messages 2, Are you sure you have "admin" rights on the computer?
Yep I am gurutech! So it looks like I have to do it the scary way with repair install Thanks for your hint though. Figured I would mention it, since sometimes the hardest problems have the simplest answers I have managed to reinstall windows, but now i have to reinstall service packs 1 and 2. I suspect that that the drivers are ones that my new installed windows doesn't recognise, because of my previous installations of SP1 and SP2.
Is there any way of downloading the service packs on a spearate computer and then write them to a cd and install them from the cd?
Please, please help - plus I have to re activate windows - only 30 days to do this as you know. Otherwise it went fine, with all the things in My Documents, the desktop etc just the way they were. With a few exceptions though, but I'll address these later as I feel it would confuse the thread. View solution in original post. Tell it to remove the software and drivers. Restart your computer.
When the computer restarts, the new hardware wizard will look to install the drivers. If it doesn't install, then install using the drivers. Installing My Wi-Fi Technology. Browse Community. Laptops General - Read Only. Turn on suggestions.
