Hi,
It means you should reinstall to a new folder without formatting. That would be a critical system file, and if it can't be loaded there is little you can do. There is a possibility of a problem with the registry, so loading the last known good configuration from the boot menu might help. Otherwise, you can reload without formatting to preserve data files (the old installation will be moved to a windows.old folder as long as there is sufficient space on the drive). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Dpad86" wrote in message ...
