I am attepting to fix a friends Dell Laptop which is running Windows XP (not
SP2 AFAIK)
the intial problem is that running any program IE, Notepad, Works etc.
results in the '... has encountered a problem and needs to close' dialogue.
I have tried various things, safe mode etc. with no effect (I can not do
much as nothing runs!) and have now reinstalled XP.
I now get the same dialogue for Apoint.exe on booting up, however attampting
to run any program now simply results in a brief change of the mouse cursor
to an hourglass, for maybe 1 to 2 seconds.
As I can not run ***anything*** I am at a loss as to how to proceed, any
ideas?
