Title: Two Windows XP editions will appear on startup
Post by: action_jackson on December 06, 2004, 11:24:40 PM

I tried to clean up my computer by wiping out everything. I did this by using the Win XP discs that came with my computer. Everything looked ok when I was loading the new XP on my computer but now when I turn my computer on a DOS screen pops up and I have two Windows XP editions pop up. I have to press enter on one of the Windows XP. They're both the same exact version. Please tell me how I can fix this. Because now EVERYTHING on the computer is running extremely slow. I don't know if everything is loaded on there twice or what happened. Please help. By the way once I click on the Windows XP that I want to use the computer boots up and everything works fine except it is very slow. Did I mess up when I was loading The Win XP disk on the computer. Thanks for all your help.

I had this problem so I reset my computer completely after backing up my files. The reason your computer is running slowly is because you have got two copies of XP on your computer.
