Hi, I have a Dell 8300 system with WindowsXp Professional which started
acting sluggish so I started my system in Safe Mode, reinstalled WindowsXp
Pro and now have a BLUE SCREEN of Death and can access my system.
The installation process appeared to proceed OK except when it got to
Installing (after Checking Information / Dynamic Update / Preparing
Installation and before Finalizing Installation). During the Installing
sequence, I was advised that File a3d.dll Creative SB could not be located
and my mouse locked. I pressed ESC and the error message box disappeared and
the mouse was released and the installation continued. But I noticed that the
screen turned blank for a second or two then the Windows Install screen
reappeared and the installation continued, this happened about a ½ dozen
times, which I thought was very unusual since I have not experienced this
before previously when installing (numerous versions of) Windows. Anyway,
the installation continued, the system restarted and I was advised:
Windows is Staring Up
Welcome
(and then came the BLUE SCREEN) A Problem has been detected and Windows Must
shut down
I tried to start my system in SAFE MODE but was advised
Windows must be activated before you can continue. Restart in Windows mode.
Since I HAD a good (activated) version of WindowsXp Pro before I tried to
repair / reinstall WindowsXp Pro, I thought that I might be in trouble and
whenstart my system in Normal Mode, I get the Blue Screen of Death so I KNOW
that I am in trouble and in desperate need of H-E-L-P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Bob
