Hello all
Right now I am on a computer at school. Anyways, yesterday I wokeup and turned on my computer as usual. I go to the bathroom, come back and see that I was still at the Windows XP loading screen... hmm... so I turn my TV on and wait another 2 minutes, to see that it still hasn't loaded to the username screen.
At this point I decide to restart the computer, and the same thing happens. However this time it finally gets to the username screen after about what felt like a good 15 minutes. Anyways, the computer lagged as I typed in my password and it appeared a good couple of seconds later. As it was loading, I got an error message saying that the registry failed to load or something like that, and that my personal profile could not be loaded and I would be given a temporary profile. It took another forever and a day to load into the desktop.
Anyways EVERYTHING is lagged and taking forever. Internet, start bar, etc. Not knowing what to do, I tried to do a system restore. I restart my computer and this time instead of getting to the load screen , the computer restarts everytime after a couple of seconds of waiting at the Windows XP load screen.
I have no idea what to do. The days prior to that I would do the same thing I always did, and nothing out of the regular. Hmm.. I checked the parts inside the computer and everything seemed to be running just fine. I tried to do a system repair with the Windows XP disc but I have no idea how to work it
I would format already but I have sooo much stuff on my computer that right now I don't think I can afford losing.
All help would be appreciated, I am in desperate need of it! Thank you.
