Running Windows XP Home edition SP1 on a 4-year old Dell Dimension 4600.
Starts up and I get the Windows XP logo with the loading bar below it, and
then the screen goes black. Then I hear the Windows chime like it's starting
behind the black screen. It's not a black screen like a DOS screen with a
command prompt. It's just black.
I CAN start it in Safe Mode.
It will not do system restore at any point, and it will not boot to "last
known good configuration".
Clean boot did not work.
Ran AntiVirus with no results.
Tried to boot from Win XP installation CD and it wouldn't boot (is that a
BIOS thing?)
ZoneAlarm did catch a trojan the other night, which I deleted.
Any ideas?
