When I use Windows XP H/E it does not reboot get black screen?

I'm not saying your problem is what mine was, but last Friday my Dell laptop started doing the same thing.  It would go to the black Windows XP screen and then it would just go black.  And stay black.  I found out the next day, after having the Geek Squad people at Best Buy look at it that it was my motherboard.  I had let the battery die and when I plugged it in, sparks flew up from the surge protector and they said that's probably what did it.  Had to buy a new computer.\n\nIf you have any friends who are good with computers, ask them.  \n\nBut if it is something that can't be fixed, those people were able to transfer all my files (not programs just files) from my old computer to my new one.\n\nGood luck - I know exactly how horrifying that is!!!!

Few things you can do.  Try to enter Win XP in safe mode then try to find out and fix the problem there.  Or re-load Windows Xp if you don't know how to do this then bring it somewhere and pay for it to be fixed.

I've been having some computer problems lately myself where XP won't boot. I tried pretty much everything. But I finally got it working after using this:\n\nFix-It Utilities 6\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009JKGRY/002-0155762-7876854?v=glance&n=229534\n\nI'm not sure if it'll work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.

If you are using XP just create a restore point, that should be the easiest and should solve most issues if the occur.

Which OS?  If you are running XP can you get into safe mode?  Press F8 right after start up and select safe mode.  If you are able to run in safe mode there is something starting when XP is running in standard mode.  If that is the case I would try a system restore if you have had that enabled.  While in safe mode from the start menu click programs, accessories, system tools, system restore.  Select a date before the problem started.  Good Luck

If Windows XP is the only operating system installed on your computer, booting into Safe Mode with these instructions.\n\nIf the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power \nWait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on. \nStart tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again. \nEnsure that the Safe mode option is selected. \nPress Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode. \nWhen you are finished with all troubleshooting, close all programs and restart the computer as you normally would.

Huh?  Are you trying to reboot your computer?  XPs are designed with a backup drive, so there's no need for reboot disks like previous platforms.  You should be able to restart you computer and go into safe mode.  From there you can do a system restore.

Did you install any new hardware or software before the issue occured?  You can try accessing your system using a boot disk (a floppy disk or the Windows XP boot CD).  I think if you are unable to start the system in the Safe Mode, you will probably have to reinstall the OS or format and reinstall the OS.\n\nYou can reinstall Windows XP if you have the XP installation CD.  Just pop it in and follow the instructions to reinstall (you will need to make the installation CD as the first booting device in BIOS).  To access the BIOS settings, press F2 or F8 immediately when you start your computer.  Then go to the boot sequence settings.

Try booting into safemode, log in under the administrator account and see what happens. if the same thing then maybe you can do a system restore from the command prompt: \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304449\nTry restoring the computer to a time when it last worked. If that doesnt work and you have your windows xp disk, boot from it load the recovery console and try a chkdsk /r. More info on the recovery console here: \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_chkdsk.mspx?mfr=true\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_run_console.mspx?mfr=true\nAll else fails, reinstall the OS.

Try System Restore, and if that does not work, you have to buy the "Windows XP PRO, or Home Installation CD."

Go to: Control Panel -> Performance & Maintenance -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager\n\nAnd check if every device is working correctly. If not, usually it will show different icon on top of it. Then you would need to find the newest or appropriate driver that XP could accept. Usually the website of the original manufacture of your device should have host the driver.

First go into BIOS, usually by pressing the Delete key while rebooting. Go to start up or boot devices and select your first boot device to your CD Rom. Put your Windows XP disk in the drive and reboot. From the options, do a repair.If that doesn't work, Try resetting your BIOS, usually a jumper on the motherboard, check the manual because they're all different.  If that doesn't work, Do a reformat and fresh install.\nIt sounds like a virus or trojon, so if you do get it up and going, without the reformat, do a complete scan with your antivirus software.

You can try booting from a XP installation cd and try repairing the system. Chances are that youre hard disk is damaged, try running a disk diagnose program and see if this is the case. Hope not, cause you'll have to get another one then
