Question

Answer 1

Try recreating the virtual memory.

For XP system...

1. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.

2. Click the Advanced Tab and select Settings under the Perfomance Options.

3. Click on the Advanced Tab and select Change under Virtual Memory.

4. Click No Paging File and clisk Set.

5. Click OK, OK, OK and tell the system to restart.

6. Let the system reboot...It will be slower than usual.

7. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.

8. Click the Advanced Tab and select Settings under the Perfomance Options.

9. Click on the Advanced Tab and select Change under Virtual Memory.

10. Click Custom Size and set the Initial Size to (1.5 times your Physical Memory.)

11. Set Maximum to (2 times your Physical Memory.)

12. Click OK, OK, OK. No reboot required.

This problem stems from system images. When a manufacturer creates an image and then changes the memory but does not update the image, memory errors can occur. This can even happen when you upgrade your own system memory. Always recreate the Virtual memory after modifying physical memory. It should prevent these types of errors.

Turn on the computer, boot into safe mode by pressing F8 while windows is starting, click the administrator account. next when you see a dialog box that talks about system restore click "NO" to activate system restore and select a date to restore to and click restore

I take it XP never finishes loading, right? There are a number of ways, depending on what you have:

You can do a system restore from your recovery discs that may have come with your PC or Recovery partition on your PC. Accessing the recovery partition depends on your brand (for HPs and Compaqs, keep tapping F11 at Power on, for Sony and Gateway, F2, etc.)

If you have an original XP disc or recovery disc with your computer, you can boot your PC from the disc and go into Recovery Console and do a system file repair scan (can't remember exactly how its worded).

If you have a preinstalled environment disc (like BartPE) you can boot the disc and copy a clean explorer.exe file (obtained online) to your Windows folder.

One other VERY convenient option is to boot from a live Linux CD and copy said explorer.exe to the Windows partition. You can get a build like Ubuntu, or a very light one like Gnoppix or Knoppix. You will need to do this on someone else's computer:

Download and burn the Linux live CD, obtain a clean explorer.exe and save to a flash drive, boot the Linux disc on your PC, access the C: drive (may be labelled as sda1 or something similar) and navigate to your Windows folder and copy the explorer.exe to the folder. Then shut down Linux, remove your disc and restart Windows.

The advantage to this method is that if all fails and you have to reinstall Windows, you can back up your user files while in Linux (to a flash drive or burn to CDs/DVDs), then reinstall Windows without losing your data.
