Compact Presario, Windows xp home sp2. Some history: I downloaded a new driver for my video card from nvidia and got BSOD caused by nv4_mini.sys . . I couldn't start windows. I used the restore program to delete the suspect file and started getting Hal.dll is corrupted or missing please reinstall so again i used the restore program and still wouldn't load so then i used the windows repair program on cd and now it loads and stops at the blue screen with with dark blue bands at the top and bottom and has the windows xp logo. I have tried chkdsk,fixboot,fixmbr,bootcfg and still no go. also i have tried safe mode and all other options when pressing F8 still nada. yes head is sore, frustration level = approaching postal ...J/K
ok I am ready to answer your questions and perform the needed operations for a successful outcome. (trying to stay positive)
