yeah - put the cd in the drive and let it boot, then choose repair an
installation (I think) and run the automatic repair - saves you thinking too
much :-)

Sorry I forgot to mention the OS -- WinXP.

So I can, using the only configuration that boots, run a repair with that
CD...

I'll try that --

If it's Win2k, I'd be inclined to run a repair from the install cd...

My father-in-law's computer locked up, then refused to boot.  When turning
it on, i see drive activity, but the monitor light doesn't go from amber to
green, and there is no picture...
 
i have swapped video cards, no difference.
i put new mboard & proc, old memory & video -- boots but locks up frequently
(5-10 minutes) i put new mboard & proc, new memory & old video -- won't boot
 
since the video works with the new mboard/proc - i assume it is ok.  i
thought the lockups might be memory related, so i put memory from my working
computer in there, and it still locked.
 
any ideas on where you would go next???
