I know that some retailers don't like to send the original Windows CD with the computer - they create they're own recovery CD's. Which I find really annoying. I would guess that you have one of those, by the sounds of it. If it didn't give you an option to boot to the Recovery Console, I would say almost definitely.

My boot disk gave me the setup that CMPM linked to, above.
But now, I don't know what I did, but I'm stuck in a loop when I try to reboot. I got to the point where the boot disk asked me to accept the agreement, and I declined. It seemed the only way to back me out. Noow, every time I restart, it is pushing me to re installing Windows XP Pro. If I quick arrrow down to the second choice (Windows XP Media Edition--which I is what I was using), then it boots and I have my normal problems.
My system is Medion, Pentium 4, 512 RAM, XP Media Edition Version 2002 Service pack 3

When you restored your machine, are you sure that you got the proper video drivers? It sounds like the resolution is messed up, and that can be adjusted, and this can cause problems.......It also may be a sign that your videocard is possibly going..........I'm still crashing, can anyone help? The system is saying "Video Signal out of range. Set resolution to 1280 x 1024." I reset it and I'm ok for a bit (except that everything is certainly a lot smaller), then I crash again and get "System has recovered from a serious error." Whatever I've done so far has lessened the static and pixelated screen, but I still could sure use some help.

Were you able to start windows in safe mode PRIOR to attempting an update of the driver?I updated the nvidia driver, still crashing. Saying computer recovered from a serious error and event entered in error log. I have a feeling that it is some kind of conflict caused by an update. Is there any way to check the video card? Is there a way to use the error log to figure out what is up?
