What caused you to do the repair, and what did you actually do to repair it. It sounds like you're seriously _not_ repaired. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Nick2239" <Nick2239[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1F818714-CC22-421A-B3EB-D75C765425FF[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: XP 64 troubles Nick2239 10/13/2008 4:59:00 AM Hi there Charlie I kept getting the blue screen of death with various error reports kenrel debugger and various others, the hard drive kept searching for something couldn't find it and the machine would freeze or crash to the blue screen. I booted off the xp disc and ran through the set up right to the second repair option. Everything seemed great until i tried to access the start button menus they were gone leaving little icons for different things, i have to log out of the admin account to switch the machine off, didn't have to do that before. Also when i click on the IE icon all it does is make a short cut to IE that doesn't work. I can't get on the update site at all. Any Idea's ????

Re: XP 64 troubles "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 10/13/2008 5:15:25 AM Yes. It sounds very much like you have either bad hardware or were seriously infected. If the later, a repair install won't fix it in most cases. You need to do a wipe and reload. If the problem is hardware, then you should probably start with a memory test. Let it run for a while, and see what it comes up with. But I'm strongly suspecting an infection. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Nick2239" <Nick2239[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1840116E-FBF9-4BEB-8D59-839B3675BF87[ at ]microsoft.com...
