ok i person on my facebook has asked me what this means

her netbook that has Windows XP on it ,trys to boot up but ends up showing these messages

" This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.Reinstalling the application may fix this problem "

" we apologise for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and Folders, choose last known good configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked. If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the power or reset button was pressed.

I'm at a loss as I've never had an issue like that...any ideas as to what it could be please ?

thanx :)
 
The Advanced Boot Options menu is accessed by pressing F8 as the Windows splash screen begins to load.

This method of accessing the Advanced Boot Options menu applies to all versions of Windows that includes the menu, including Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, etc.

In older versions of Windows, the equivalent menu is accessed by holding down the Ctrl key while Windows is starting.
