Hello,
I am a novice with computers. My computer is giving me a
very hard time to boot. I read somewhere that trying
LKG= "Last known Good" might correct the problem.
How do I do that? Help Please!!!
 
At startup F8 for startup options.

Looking in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
you'll find the D-Word values for
"Current"=dword:00000001
"Default"=dword:00000001
"Failed"=dword:00000000
"LastKnownGood"=dword:00000002

CurrentControlSet is volatile and will always be an image (at boot) of
what's defined in ControlSetx where x = the value of "Current"

Choosing last known good boots the system with the control set that last
successfully booted your system. Control sets contain system configuration
information such as device drivers and services.
