i would very much appreciate help with this problem, i can not download anything, whether it be off of disk or internet explorer, most everything in my computers memory was somehow deleted and no longer opens or my computer will say file not found. If you know whats happening please write back cause i have no clue

Are you saying you cannot boot into Windows?

If so have you tried Safe Mode?

Safe Mode
--------------------------------------------------
Can you get into Safe Mode?


If you can access Windows and this is a new problem try System Restore:

System Restore
--------------------------------------------------
You might try a System Restore to a point prior to your problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

ok i tried the system restore and got about 100 diffrent problems it now tries to load windows 95 and then i just get a black screen with a cursor in the top left corner flashing, is trashing the computer reccomended yet?

Did you use to run Windows 95 on this computer?

Anyway can you get into Safe Mode?

Also do you have your XP CD at hand?

it doesnt even get me to the screen where it says press so and so to get to safemode just black screen with cursor, and no, what happened was at some point my computer got turned off and it said windows has errors would you like to run it in safemode or regular, no matter which you chose it would instantly freeze, so i kept it off for about a month, turned it back on and it got loaded just fine except i kept getting a whole bunch of windows saying error cant load this or that. then one saying the driver may be damaged. and i have no clue where the windows 95 thing came from i set the system restore to october 12th 2008 and my computer had xp then.

If you have your XP CD then you can reload the system from scratch.

If you do not have this CD you can try ubuntu (it is free):


Download Ubuntu | Ubuntu

is there any place i can get ubuntu on a disk? otherwise i wont be able to get it

Here:

Ubuntu Desktop Edition | Ubuntu

Otherwise in order to download you just need a PC with working CD drive and a blank CD.
