I believe I had an awful virus as the computer was so slow, kept opening tons of Internet advertising windows and would not allow me to run my virus software (kept freezing). I tried to boot in safe mode, the computer wouldn't let me:

I get a blue screen that says a problem has been detected and the bottom of the message says:

Technical Information:

***Stop: 0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0x8AEC21, of78A9C48, 0xF78A9944) How can I boot again. Safe mode and regular mode do not work.

I am running XP Home

I can't even boot in regular mode, I get this same screen. Please help. Years of work and all of our family pictures & taxes are on this computer. Please help. I have a Dell Inspiron 700m laptop.

Thank You
