I'm running Windows XP on a partitioned hard drive using boot camp. The Windows XP logo displays, with the little status bar, then it goes to a black screen and hangs, when I normally log-in. I suspect a virus because I (stupidly) downloadedb some retro games the night before this problem occured. Windows XP has been running fine since I bought this system in 2007.
Mac OS side of partition works fine. Will boot in "safe" mode, "safe" with networking, but not VGA mode. I tried downloading and reintsalling my video-card driver (nVidia GeForce 7600 GT). No luck. Ran Norton Anti-Virus and other anti-MalWare programs in safe mode. Nothing expect a tracking cookie detected and deleted.
I have no idea where my original Windows XP disc is, but this is a legitimate copy.
Very frustrated!
Computer specs: iMac: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.16 Ghz); 2 GB RAM, GeForce 7600 GT (256 MB) graphics card, running windows XP service pack 2 on one partition, Mac OS X on other side.
Please help -- I have been all over the net and others seem to have similar problems, but haven't seen a solution that matches my specifics.
