Windows fix causes restarting
I've got a problem that I've run out of ideas how to troubleshoot. I'm running
XP Home (SP2) on a Dell Dimension 4400 with a P4 2Ghz. Upon starting it up today, I got this error message: "Windows could not start. The following file is missing or corrupted \windows\system\vgaoem.fon. You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair." After jumping through the hoops to fix it exactly as MS Support prescribed, I restarted it and got the screen saying that Windows had been shut down wrong and to choose one of the options (Normal, Safe Mode, etc.) to boot again. All of the options cause a restart in the same spot, and upon choosing Safe Mode to boot, the commands list gets to the file "...agp440.sys", pauses and restarts. Can anyone help me get around this problem? Thanks. |

I assume I can again. Going into the recovery console was part of fixing the first vgaoem.fon problem.
