Q. Ok, so my computer won't start unless I put it into safe mode. It just gets to the loading screen with the moving bar, and doesn't move past that. I want to try to use my Windows XP startup disk to fix it, but I need to know if it will erase any of my data.
A. Depends on the choices you make when using the disk.
If you choose to repair, no it wont, if you choose to install then yes it will.
Put in the CD
at the first option Press R to Repair Windows
choose the correct drive to fix (usually 1)
enter your password (if you don't use one press Enter)
type chkdsk /r and press Enter
allow it to run (may be several hours)
when finished type exit and press Enter
hopefully it will boot properly

A. Try this:
Right click âmy computerâ
Select âpropertiesâ
Click âhardwareâ tab, select âdevice managerâ
Expand âsound Video and Game controllersâ. Your sound card should be listed.
If you see it and it has a ? or yellow ! mark, then the drivers are not installed. Simply grab you drivers disk and install them.
If you see a red circle with a line going through it, this means its disabled.
Right click on the item and click enable.
also when you click on speaker net to clock make sure you on playback not record. Record is only if you use headphone/ mic configuration.

Q. My windows xp home computer recently had odd visual settings that i tried to fix. Instead of fixing the problem, i think i made it worse. Now it only shows the middle of my desktop background, now mouse cursor. Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesnt work i.e. nothing shows up. Im wondering is there some override or button or something that fixes that problem? Surely they thought of that when making windows? The visual display settings cant be so important and have no way of fixing? Please help?
