Hi All,
I recently thought id upgrade my version of IE to the new IE7 RC1 i downloaded and installed it my OEM version of Xp Pro with Sp2 ( i have had some problems with windows recognising its authenticity) but anyway... so i restart after install and boots ok into the xp login screen then the screen just goes to the back ground and comes up with a explorer.exe error and i assume explorer.exe is terminated looks like:
explorer.exe
App Name: explorer.exe App Ver 6.0.29900.2096
Mod Ver: 5.1.2600.2096 Mod Name: Kernell32.dll
Offset: 0001ddf1
OK so i can Ctrl + alt + del nd go into task manager but there is no explorer.exe if i try and run the task it says :
"windows cannot access the specified device,path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
the only account i have is an admin one and i am logged in so far as one.
I tried swapping with another hdd from another machine to see if it works now the other hdd works fine in the other pc i have but wont boot when i swap to replace the stuffed one. it boots up and gets to the windows didnt shutdown/boot correctly this might be due to a recent software/hardware change blah blah etc. and it gives me a few startup options.
Boot windows normally
Use most recent settings that worked
Safe mode
Safe mode with networking
etc
when i choose any of them it goes to black screen then restarts again and goes through the bios memory check etc
ANy help on getting it to either boot using other HDD or any help on booting from diffrent HDD
p.s My machine is AMD Athlon 900 756mb ram 40 gb hdd (IBM Deskstar)
the other is from a Dell optiplex Gx150 20 gb (western Digital)
i assume it doesnt boot cause its from diff machine but i had no other idea at the time
Thanks in advance
