Fried my operating my XP?

[Blackhorse]

Ok im going to start with a confession! On another forum i vist i saw some people talking about a windows Vista theme that didnt alter your operating system itself but more just changed the look.
Blindly i went forward and installed said theme!

Then it went pear shaped my computer just kept rebooting randomly saying there was a critical error with a video driver.
I thought stuff this and removed the theme.

Only problem was it kept doing it!
Till its got to the stage where windows wont boot.

Ive been at this disaster road in my life before and thought if i just put the XP disk into the system and tell it to either repair or over install it would sort it (previously worked for me!)

Only problem is that when i put to XP disk after it go's through all the installing temp drivers to run the disk i get a blue screen saying the computer will have to reboot as continuing will cause critical damage!

It says to check maybe the bios and video drivers!

Have i cooked it?!

Sounds as though its messed with your vga drivers to me

Firstly i'd reinstall them. Go to your control panel > System > Hardware > Device manager. Open up the Display adaptors box, right click your primary adaptor and choose uninstall.

Reboot, reinstall drivers and reboot again. If you can't find your driver CD, download them from the manufacturers website before removing them.

That doesn't work, then tbh i'd just format m8. Simple to do, CD in drive, enter bios and change the boot order to first boot CD, then restart. Setup will load, format, partition and reinstall.

Have you read his post properly?

His PC won't boot, and I am pretty sure he is trying to install XP from the system boot rather than within Windows and that won't work either.
