Fuck SP3
« on: October 26, 2008, 04:01:06 PM »

So I finally installed SP3 on my computer.  Now XP won't start up and when I go into safe mode it won't let me do a system restore. Any ideas?

XP Home, legit. It says "Unable to initialize system restore, please restart your computer and try again." Or something like that.  Well it still isn't letting me start system restore, I have even tried multiple levels of safe mode; Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, and Safe Mode with Command Prompt.  I am planning on formatting the fucking thing anyway, I just need to get some files off of it first but of course it wont let me... PLEASE help.

Don't make a format. Just insert Windows CD and reinstall system files. It sometimes does the job.

It's called Repair, if you choose to take that option.
