    « on: July 24, 2009, 04:43:19 AM »
    Hi, when I try to boot up I the initial windows lgo then a blank screen.  If I try to load in safe mode it does not get to the windows logo screen but comes with the following message

    multi(0)disk(0)partition(1)\windows\system32\drivers\agg440.sys

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Many  thanks

      Run an OS repair; in this case, run an XP repair. It should fix whatever missing or corrupt windows files there are.

        Forgive me but I am not that savy.  Is an XP repair something that I can do myself or will I need to take it to a repair outlet?

          Repair Install of XP...

          thank you for the link, my problem is that the system is about 8 years old and XP came preinstalled so cannot use XP disc.  looked through the link but could not see any reference to no disc problem.  Cheers again
