Hello.
I'm running Windows XP, home edition I think, on an emachines laptop.
Earlier today I was simultaneously trying to download some files through
windows update aswell as extract game server files from Meneda. Specifically
the Meneda Suite.
It Extracted uncompletely once, so I re-downloaded the now-deleted compressed
folder and attempted to open it once again. It didn't work.
At this point, my computer slowed. The instalation went to a standstill, so
I attempted to close down everything.
It took a good halfhour, to an hour but I got down to my desktop. I opened
taskmanager, everything there was closed.
Then I tried to restart my computer.
This was obsurdly slow, so I delted some un-needed processes, like freePOP,
msnmsg. Things that were running, but not active.
It begins to shut down, but freezes. I wait an hour before removing the
battery, plugging back in outlet power, and turning it back on.
It will not start Windows XP now
It shows the black window explaining that windows was shut down incorrectly,
if I know why chose Start Normally, if the computer froze and/or shut down of
it's own regard, choose Start With Last Known blah blah blah.
Fine, I selected Start Normally, and it didn't work, moved to Start With Last
Known whatever.
I've tried all three possible Safe Mode Starts aswell.
I've disabled Quiet Boot to see if this helps me.
Everything I try to run doesn't work. It flashes a blue error screen to
quickly for me to read it, then goes back to black screen said before.
When I run in Safe Boot, it runs the list of programs fine, but catches on
one and returns to the black screen.
The line it stops at is this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\gagp30kx.sys
I figure this is the file C:\WINDOWS\...\gagp30kx.sys
Any help as to what I can do?
I don't want to re-formate my harddrive as I've taken a long time getting
this laptop set up to how I like it. I don't even know how to do it,
truthfully.
But I REALLY don't want to have to do that. I have a working desktop
computer, obviously, that I can connect to it.
So, can I fix this?
