Windows XP halp needed...
LSS: Computer bluescreened (mentioned atapi.sys), restarted it but all I'm getting is the wallpaper and the mouse pointer. explorer.exe's apparently running, but can't be arsed to show itself onscreen, meaning no taskbar, desktop icons or menu. Ctrl+alt+del works so stuff loads from there, but that's it.
Anyone? Tyia :3
Now to try and find a tiny little screwdriver so I can retrieve the drive from my old external one, install the Windows 7 RC and be away from this shitstain of an OS for good.
Update: Seems to have fixed itself... not sure what happened (the desktop showed up all white with a ! triangle and going on about Active Desktop being screwed - I'm not even using Active Desktop O_o ), but this is the second time it's done this now so still wanting to get away from XP.
