Computer Error

Yes, I know there have been a lot of these but this one seems to be bad. I have one other computer and I have kept it off for about a week until we regained power once more (hurricane charley) I got power back on about 30 minutes ago and went to go turn on the computer. Everything was loading fine until the power flickered and the computer was shut off. Now when I turn it back on it goes to the black Microsoft Loading screen then a dark blue screen pops up and says:

Microsoft Fatal Login Error (Insert numerous numbers and letters here) So it wont do anything from that screen and when I turn it off and reboot it does the same thing. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You should have bought a surge protector, or a better one.

Simplest solution = Re-Install windows.

Insert your Boot/Windows CD.

Unless you have a Pirated version, if so Bill Gates is on his way.

Was that hurrican fun.

I won't it to hit MS. but mother nature had other plans

The hurricane itself wasnt too bad. There were some twisters that ripped off roofs and a wall of nearby bowling alley. So if I reboot windows will I lose everything on the computer?

It should be enough to get him up and running. Just put in your WinXP CD, and reboot the computer. It will be like "Hit any key to boot from CD......" so hit a key. It will load and then be like "Install windows press [some key] restore windows press [some key]" Do the install windows. Then it will be like "Fix a current install of windows [press key]" "Format and install Windows [press key]" "Do not format and install windows [press key]". Do the Repair one. That should get you up and running.

sometimes that always doesnt work. I had to do the same thing today and it didnt work, had to do a fresh install of windows.

There is usually no need to do a fresh install of an Operating system, unless it is so cluttered with spyware, virii, and the like that it cannot be fixed. The Windows XP repair will most of the time get you back on your feet. If not, install it WITHOUT formating your hard drive. Most of your programs will have to be reinstalled, but your filesystem will remain in tact.

When the power goes out and many files are deleted it's kinda hard to replace those files.
