system restore ? does it log out right away? go into safe mode and uninstall norton and see if that works

[Joshuah]

Yep, straight away, and I think i've tried it on safemode, it uninstalled, besides theirs 3 types, safemode, safemode debugging (lags badly) and another one :-P

my old high school computer lab had the problems lol - we used to do work on it and it randomly restarted and we had to start all over again, we had to save our work every 30 seconds otherwise we had to start from the beginning lol

the way they fixed it is by reinstalling windows - if it doesn't even let you log in enough to restore or anything then the only solution would be to reinstall the OS unless you can get another hard drive and start there but either way you can't get access to your files in your current hdd

Whats the OS :-P, and I got the keygen I think, but I don't got the cd, is the key gen, the product key?

what are you talking about? lol

OS = Operating system like Windows, Mac, Linux, etc...

Keygen = Illegal

CD = Needed for reinstall with a problem like this

Keygen is not the product key, it gives you the product key and it is ILLEGAL - don't talk about that here please :spinny:

Woop's, sorry, well I got the product key :-) it says product key :-P and i'll try and get a cd for it =] thanks LiNuX, and how will I install it if it won't let me log in?

just go into bios and make sure CD drive loads first and then restart your pc

Ok.. Re-installing Windows 101.

1) Make sure you have a LEGAL install CD with LEGAL CD Key.
2) Turn on your PC and get into the BIOS settings. (hit F1, F2, F8, or F12 depending on you computer when its booting up)
3) Once in your BIOS settings, go to the "Boot Sequence" option, and change it so your CD drive boots first.
4) Exit and save changes
5) Make sure the LEGAL CD we spoke of earlier is in the drive, and restart your computer.
6) Follow the on-screen instructions for installing your OS (Operating System).

Bonus Tip: When the option to completly reformat your harddrive comes up, take it. Don't try installing over your old partition. Just start from scratch.


Hope this helps.
