Help ................. Pleaz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

As you may or may not know ................................. I am having real problems with my computer at home :twisted:

It is not starting up with Windows 98.

Instead I am getting the message:

"Windows Protection Error"

Does anyone know what this means & how I can get past it ????


It then comes up with a bright orange message saying:

IT IS NOW SAFE TO TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER.

It will then direct you into safe mode.

In safe mode we have run:

Thorough disk scan = No errors found
AVG = No viruses found

NOW we are stuck as what to do next.




ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( :( :(

Hi FA,
is W98 the operating system on your PC or do you have another?
If not try to upgrade in save mode to W98se or if the memory is sufficiant put on XP.

Thanks

We do not have the disk - as the shop where we brought it from has it.

I have been on Microsoft.com & into troubleshooting - so fingers crossed it may help


If not its back to the shop - but when - who knows :mad: :mad:

Am not trying to bu funny here but have you tried wrapping the pc in a condom.
That will be a sfer mode to start from and protect it from certain users ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Have you tried opening the case and faith healing (you know, like men do at the side of the road when their car breaks down...... us clever ladies just call the AA :lol: )

try this

ANYWAY - My computer is going into the shop again today - so hopefully get it back at the weekend :pray: :pray: :pray:

Wise decision FA - computer equivalent of calling the AA :D I knew female logic would win through in the end!

Er, would this condom be big enough for you Gerry?

FA, i've had the same error once. Very strange. Didn't really know what to do with it, and the computershop only makes it worse... Then it came out that my HD had a crash... damn.. so, then i've bought a new computer.

Really don't know much about errors in windows... but do know that Windows 98 has a lot problems you can't solve!

Thanks Tim - it has just come back from the shop - so I do not think it is the hard drive - OH well they will sort it for me - just a pain not having it for days though - especially as I have work to do at home :shock:

Thank goodness for work computers - WELL work has to be good for something I suppose :cool:

Bat - Don't encourage him - he needs an XS not XXXXXXXXL

You know men's inches are more like feet :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Upgrade to SE, should sort out the 98 bugs. 98 SE is the most stable Windows OS.

:: :: AB.........thats exactly the one ave got, bet FAs worried now :bunny: :mrgreen:

Nowt frightens me Gerry ...................................................................... .............. except the dark :shock:

:shock: BOOH :shock:

I might be lurking about during the day then dragging my HUGE condom about...........awaiting cutting remark now :cool:

Gerry you are not supposed to make water bombs with them - especially if you are dragging it around - it will burst - no wonder it's raining up there

....its quite funny aint it, you asked for help for your puter and now we're all onto, or into ;) , condoms :D

Ya - well what do you expect - I expected nowt else from you Gerry

BUT on a up note - we have the computer back - it just wants setting up again - so hopefully I will be up & running later tonight or tomorro :bunny:
