well , I tried to reinstall windows , by doing the repair procedure & saving old files, while reinstalling windows. Half way through the installation ,an error occured:
" SUWIN has caused a General Protection Fault in Module VERX.DLL at 0002:24AE."
It gave me the option to ignore or cancel; Ignore had no responce & cancel would just terminate the whole process. I tried several times & still the same results . so then I just tried to reinstall windows without saving any old files still on the disk & I still got the same result...
....
I installed a 2006 norton anti virus disk & it did an emergency scan & it says there is no viruses or corrupted files...after the scan is complete it shows the results of the scan ,which appear o.k. and " a:/< " prompt comes up waiting for me to enter somthing......the only other cd that came will my Dell Dimension that looks useful besides the windows reinstallation cd, is " backup: dell-installed programs"disc ,however the computer will not boot off this disc...ive never made any other recovery disc's or backup disc's...i've heard somthing about creating emergency disks with my norton av cd ...I wonder if this might work?I read a little in the norton av user's guide & it said there should be a disk doctor prompt when starting with the av software , but it does not come up; it will just immediatly do a system scan when trying to boot with the nortion disc............Im lost.........
how could I move this disk to another machine like kemasa said, if that is my only option? & if windows will not reinstall due to this error, does that mean my hard drive is fried? by the way, it is windows Me that came with this Dell, I don't know if that will make any differance.....
sorry for the 101 questions .
thanks again for any help.
