My desktop icons and start bar have completely disappeared and I've tried to get them back, but my right click doesn't work either. However, I can sometimes pull up task manager by a doing ctrl+alt+del to do what I need.
I see several run.dll's running in the processes of the task manager and the CPU usage is at 100% almost always. When the CPU usage goes down to a lesser %, it usually crashes the computer, then it reboots itself or shows a blue screen of death for a split second and then crashes. The blue screen only stays a nanosecond, then crashes the computer, so I cannot read what it says is wrong.
I have gotten some runtime errors and the just replicate themselves several times and so quickly, that I cannot click the "ok" button fast enough to stop them from making the computer go completely berzerk and then, my computer just freezes. I've also received an error window that mentioned something about the Synaptics TouchPad having some kind of error.
What I've tried to do to fix these multiple problems so far is: system restore, fixing the registry, running antivirus programs and system mechanic, and tried to update Win XP to SP 2 (which it won't let me do) BUT nothing seems to work. :(
I am using a Compaq Presario PC notebook, running Win XP Home Edition SP1 (legit copy - although, I lost my boot disk in my last move),
Short of total reformat, I don't see any other way to fix this.
Will Microsoft or Compaq send me a copy of Win XP for free, since I lost mine? :confused:
Is there anything I can do to avoid reformatting or just throwing this thing is the garbage? I feel so helpless and frustrated!
Please help me, if you can!!! Thanks
