PLEASE HELP!
My Gateway Tablet running xp crashed today (my son was watching a video on
youtube)
I've read many articles and different sites to find a solution for this
problem.
The thing is:
MY COMPUTER WON'T BOOT EVER, EVEN IN SAFE MODE!
Most people with this error have intermittent problems and can access the
operating system and try fixes. If I try running in last working boot, it
fails and comes back. If I try in safe mode it starts listing files and
always (10+ times) locks up when it gets to:
windows\system32\Drivers\agpCPQ.sys
I've tried going into the BIOS to shut off shadowing (which I read
on another site) and can't find anything to change.
I have worked on and with computers for years now and have always
FOUND a resource that helped me fix my dilemna. Not this time, I have to
ASK.. Unfortunately, I just got this computer as a hand me down from my son
(many of you can relate to that I'm sure) when he switched to MacIntosh. (I
should have gone with him on that but I have too many pcs and too many pc
programs and years of struggling to switch now) and I don't have a start-up
disk.
According to the booklet, This is Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005.
I've yet to find anything that tells me how to get by this unable to start,
even from the last working boot. My most reliable pcs are still running
windows 98SE. I'd complain about the software more, but I've noticed that my
cell phone reception is not as good as it was 15+ years ago when the phone
was in a bag to carry the battery.
I'd like to thank you in advance for any help you may supply. I am
leaving on a trip on Thursday and hope to get this resolved to take it with
me.
I'd say I am between a newbie and intermediate. Many things that
routinely go wrong I can overcome and some things like this I don't always
know what people are talking about.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Bob
