SpyCatcher 0 Posted September 13, 2002 you need to reduce the number of files in your "C" drive (create more space for a swap file), then shutdown non-essential flies that open when XP starts (hold ctrl-alt-esc keys at the sae time). This will fix your problem. Share this post Link to post
Azreal 0 Posted September 13, 2002 Well I fixed it I figured out that the service pack didn't over write 2 files that I had customized even though I told it to on install I had to manually overwrite shell32.dll and msgina.dll then everything worked fine. but thanks for all the suggestions Share this post Link to post
