windows xp help

[Tommy]

I need help

when i booted up this moning
internet explore wouldnt open

and i was getting a few error messages

I removed some software that were giving me the error messages
and everything works fine now but my computer is stuck in some sort of safe mode

everything is gray and theres no sound

Maybe system restore would help?

go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.

You may have damaged, but repairable files.
To scan for bad files:
Go to start -- Run, type CMD and press enter.
Type SFC /SCANNOW and press enter... It may solve your problem.

Just in case it's.... Sasser?

thanks everyone

I had to reinstall xp

but now my computer looks like the old windows 98
very annoying

Maybe you have to change the settings to make it look like XP?

Start -> Settings -> Taskbar and Start menu

just a wild guess :)

very annoying I wish I had seen this earlier you could have restored to a date earlier than the problem. Say your puter was fine on the 1st and screwed on the 2nd, you could have restored the settings of the 1st.
