I have used F8 and was able to re-run windows XP CD

upon start up it goes right tp a small back screen with "safemode" in all 4 corners!!!!
HELP!!! I am a loan officer who works from home, not having access to my PC is $$!

Thanks TJ:

 

When you boot up have you tried pressing F8 again and selecting Normal Startup?

 

yup, tried it. It still comes up in safe mode.

 

Did you try TimW's suggestion?

If so, then try the following:

When in safe mode, (I'm assuming the desktop doesn't appear?). Hit CTRL + ALT + DEL, this should bring up the task manager. Here, click File, then RUN, type in: explorer (press enter).

This should bring back your normal explorer shell.

If that doesn't work.

To bring up msconfig: File, run, type in: msconfig (press enter). While in msconfig, I recommend removing all startup items.

Please post if you still have issues.

 

thanks theefool, that worked!
Now I'm stuck in the middle of the windows setup
lost cmd that shows is
AV/DNSP1.LOG
set up was going fine and stopped there and has been stuck there for 45 minutes! UUGGG

 

During windows setup (is this during a repair install?) then you need to hit SHIFT + F10.

This will bring up the command prompt.

Next type in: taskmgr (press enter).

This will bring up the task manager. If you look at the processes, you might find a particular process is hanging you up. If setup.exe (or some similar worded file is at 100%, then you may want to ignore that). But, if any other file is listed at 100%, kill it. If you are unsure, then give us a listing of what is in your processes.

Or you can go to:

type in services.msc (press enter).

This will bring up the services manager. Here you can actually disable any service, such as you antivirus program.

Hope some of this helps out!
