Hi, since yesterday morning, I've experienced a problem with my computer. I
turned it on with a beeping sound that sounded and my screen said that my
video card was not connected. So I shut down and made sure everything inside
my tower was plugged in properly and securely. I then attempted to start my
computer and received the following message right after the Windows loading
screen passed (right before the desktop loads):
-------------------------------------------------
Explorer.exe- unable to locate component
-------------------------------------------------
(x) <---RED X
This application failed to start because CRYPTUI.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
____________________________________________________________
I have Windows XP Pro w/ Service Pack 2
I received suggestions from 1 person yesterday, to which we couldn't
find a solution. Here are the facts so far:
1) I cannot start in SAFE MODE
2)A Repair Install with Win XP Pro w/ SP 2 disc was attempted 2 times,
and unable to complete after reboot to finalize everything (b/c after the
Windows loading screen and before the desktop loads, I received a red
floating box from my monitor saying something about VIDEO not detected or
something...so I unplugged and replugged my monitor, but then the screen is
just blank with an enlarged mouse pointer that doesn't move, and the
finalization of the Repair Install cannot complete)
3)A System Restore was attempted after entering SAFE MODE W/ COMMAND
PROMPT, Xing out the cmd.exe window, pressing CTRL+ALT+DLT to open the TASK
MANAGER, and attempting to manually get to the System Restore feature...I
kept receiving the message about CRYPTUI.dll not being found.
4)Attempted to type 'sfc /scannow' in safe mode w/ command prompt
(cmd.exe) and nothing worked there.
I don't know what else to possibly try. Any suggestions from anyone
would be helpful. I'm afraid I'll have to just buy a new hard drive and
install windows onto there as I cannot lose any data on my current hard drive
(I was in the process of backing it up 2 days ago...go figure).
If you want history of my previous post that had 1 person kind enough to
respond w/ suggestions, it was titles 'CRYPTUI.dll NOT FOUND'
My operating system is Windows XP Pro w/ SP2
I have an ATI video card (ALL-IN-WONDER-PRO)
ABIT Motherboard
(i can try and get more specifics if needed...computer was not constructed
by a manufacturer such as DELL, GATEWAY, etc..)
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
