Been having problems connecting to the net.
Called VM tech support, the tech told me to turn off Zone alarm. That was great with a little messing around got connected. The tech told me to keep ZA off, shut down the machine, unplug for 5 mins, reconnect and boot up.
Did as he asked, but now i get a black screen when Windowa XP loads. Windowa is running fine in the background i can hear the sound WinXP makes when i select user.


When i try to run Win Xp in failsafe mode, It gets as far as...

Telling INIT to go single user mode
INIT: going songle user
sh-2.05b#

Then stops.

Any advise please.

Ooops!
Looks like the code from the failsafe bootup i posted is from Linux failsafe boot option (i googled the code). Please excuse my ignorance.

At boot up i get four options
1 Linux
2 ?
3 Fail safe
4 Win XP

I thought the failsafe option was for Win XP.If anyone can help to fix Win XP i'de be grateful.
If i need to give any more info to help resolve the problem please ask.
