I'm trying to back up stuff from my old pc on cd's. it's slow so i thought i'd limit some 'start-up' programs and reboot.
In an atempt to cut down on my start up programs, i need some help on how to re-activate (iguess) the svchost.exe.
This is what i did:
Start - Run - msconfig
Start-up tab - i deselected all programs in the start-up tab, so that computer would have less running so i can back it up faster. svchost.exe was one of those programs.
Now, i start that computer, nothing happens. it powers up, the keyboard lights up but that's it. the monitor stays active (doesn't switch to sleep mode) but there is nothing on the monitor. the 'SONY' screen doesn't appear, no images.
I can see the boot sequence - keyboard - Floppy drive via the lcd lights, but after that nothing.
This is making me nervous, that computer has everything i need to put on my new computer, i can't format the c: until i get those programs and files backed up.
Is there a way to 're-activate' the svchost.exe? can i reset the CMOS battery or somehting?
