So, I'm running Windows XP with the most recent updates. I was playing Dungeon Keeper II (which I don't think was made for XP?) using an iso mounted with Magic Disk. The game crashed and I lost the task bar and all of my icons. I was just left with my background. I tried ctrl+alt+delete, but nothing happened so I manually powered down the laptop.
Now, when I start windows, it goes through the splash screen but then the screen goes blank. It boots up in safe mode and I've tried a few things:
1) I ran chkdsk and it said it found an error. So I ran it again with the /f and it said it couldn't run because the volume was already in use but I scheduled it to run on reboot. I rebooted and it said it fixed the error but nothing happened.
2) I've used System Restore twice (one for yesterday and one for 2 weeks ago) but it still doesn't boot properly.
3) I've tried disabling the automatic restart to hopefully get an error message, but I never got one so I just shut it down.
4) I've tried booting it into the "Last known good configuration."
Please help!
