 |
|
My moms computer is a Windows XP Media Edition. When she tries to boot up It just gets to the waiting screen where its Blue and it has the Windows Symbol and the words" Windows XP" under it. It gets stuck there. She tried booting up in safe mode and nothing has helped. Please help me look smart! Thanks in advance

Your 'legal' option is to call Microsoft for a new installation CD, you will need your mother's current CD key. Chances are it was pre-installed onto the computer.
Otherwise, piracy. You never feel bad pirating from Microsoft when their software malfunctions.

| You should not have to buy a new computer over this, and an installation CD from Microsoft is free (with proof of current install) last time I checked.

Download an ISO from a bay of piracy.
Burn (not write) that ISO to a CD.
Boot your computer with that CD in to install Windows.
Be sure to try and get your legit CD key before doing so, although most pirated keys will work fine.
