SO here's an update as to whats been going on. I was able to get the first two steps of the latest process done. I did the check disk thing on step 2 of the program you had me install. And I did the step 3 system file check. After that, whenever I booted up the computer normally I would be met with a black screen. No background image nothing. I was finally able to get step 4 down but now whenever I start the computer I have about 10 - 15 secs before Windows Explorer fails. It's almost as if where back to phase 1. The windows bar on the bottom of the computer shows up now at least. But I cant do anything on the computer. Should I go back and try one of your earlier steps now, or should I be trying something new?

I can't get on the computer long enough to run the scan you asked for. Whenever I start up the computer, I type in my password and it takes a long time to load up. Once it does, Windows Explorer immediately fails. I get a message window that says:

Windows Explorer has failed, restarting program
(Then there is a progress bar below this message that just goes forever)

At this point the if I hit ctrl+alt+delete to start the task manager to try and run the internet, the task manager fails. I click on new task and nothing happens. Then it says Windows Taks Manager (Not responding)

If I hold the power but down the computer shuts off, and when I click the power button again to turn the computer back on, it gives me the option to start in safe mode. But that's about as far as I can get. I've been having to post from my girlfriends computer the last few post cause I can't do anything on my computer.

How do I go about doing that if I can't access anything on the computer? The computer locks up on me as soon as I start it up. I can't access the task manager, control panel, nothing.

From doing a little research online I have the Windows Explorer restarting loop. The main problem that I am having now, over everyone else is I can't boot up the system in safe mode or normal mode to run anything. I can't get a command prompt window cause windows explorer fails before I can open it up. New task in the task manager isn't working either so I feel like I'm sorta screwed

Hello


before I try anything I still want you to try and use system restore you can access it from the system recovery options


Enter System Recovery Options.

To enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:
  • Restart the computer.
  • As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until Advanced Boot Options appears.
  • Use the arrow keys to select the Repair your computer menu item.
  • Select US as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.
  • Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  • Select your user account an click Next.

To enter System Recovery Options by using Windows installation disc:
  • Insert the installation disc.
  • Restart your computer.
  • If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc. If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or DVD, check your BIOS settings.
  • Click Repair your computer.
  • Select US as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.
  • Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  • Select your user account and click Next.
On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options:
Startup Repair
System Restore
Windows Complete PC Restore
Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
Command Prompt
[*]Select System Restore
[/list]

I kept the computer on the System Recovery options from the last test. When I click on system restore I got the message:

There was an unexpected error:

The system cannot find the specified. (0x80070002)

Please close System Restore and try again.

I clicked ok and shut down the system.

I got back to the System Recovery Options again by hitting F8

When I click on System restore again another window popped up saying:

No restore points have been created on your computer's system drive. To create a restore point open System Protection.

I can click on System Protection and when I do I get a message that says:

Your computer is running in a limited diagnostic state. If you use System Restore in this limited state, you cannot undo the restore operation.

I click okay, but the next button is grayed out.

I can click cancel and it take me back to the System Recovery Options but that's how far I can get with the System restore.
