XP Home edition not booting up

[LarryT]

My daughter has a EMach with XP Home EDition.She turned it
off while in the computer by hitting the off button and
not doing a proper shut down.Now she can't get it to boot
up properly.She said she can't get it to go to safe mode
either....Any Help on this?

Larry, if she cannot get into Safe Mode get into the Bios and set the
cdrom drive as first boot device. Then using the WinXP
CD hope she has one try a Repair Install. Check this site for further
info. Skip it if she doesnt have a XP CD.

Try this press F8 Twice
Choose last know good configuration

Tip-Don't update the S3 graphics from the windows update site. I
had problems with that. If you already did. Roll back-you may need
the drivers. Which should be on disk2 of the emachine restore disk.
