General Trouble Shooting:
The computer is 2 years old(out of the box)
It is a Tiger Direct and has never had 1 issue. I do not have or know the specifications(SORRY)
The fans operate fine
I dusted/air dusted - nothing feels hot.
I disconnected everything but the monitor.
Then I disconected everything but Monitor/Keyboard and mouse.
The hard drive is not making any strange sounds

The computer has had NO recent issues. 6 hours ago I downloaded a program from a trusted site(Kodak). I rebooted the computer. THE ERROR(issue): right passed the xp load screen the computer reboots(the damn thing self reboots). Any safe mode option I choose the same issue persists(safe mode does not load it reboots).

However, when I attempt to boot any safe mode option I get an error of the following nature:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows\system32\DRIVERS\Mup.sys
These errors scroll down my screen, I then obtain an error about SPTD
(then the damn thing reboots)

The same thing happens if I press f8. When I press f8 I receive multiple options:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode Command Prompt
Safe Mode . . .(Etc)
System Restore
(error boot log/boot log - I do not recall exact prompt name)
Disable system restart on error(do not remember exact name)

When I try any of these safe mode options using F8 the error discussed above happens. The same is true if I choose the system restore. I am UNABLE to get into my computer - it reboots.

When I disable error restart(prompt from f8 screen) the computer locks up on a blue screen. It is a page about discussing fatal errors. No obvious errors are listed. However, at the bottom there is a lengthy number. Then on the bottom right there are 3-4 lengthy numbers seperated by commas in paraenthesis. Is this an error code? What the heck is it?

I CAN get to the XP user login if I go through debugging.(F8 Prompt)

When debugging it performs a check disk function. If I abort check disk it loads for a moment they reboots again!

During check disk I receive no errors up to about 90%
It finds an error with NTuser.dat. I believe it truncates a file named wia.service.log
SA.DAT

Then when check disk finishes it puts me at the windows login screen - without rebooting. However, I only have a USB mouse(the drivers have not loaded yet, I believe?) and I can not select one of the accountto log in with(system has 2 users). I tried tab, shift tab and arrows. I also hit each key once in attempt to select a user to log in. This did not work I am stuck at the login screen! IS there another method to select a user - if so I might be able to get in.
1.) Why is this the only way to get to the login screen without reboot?

I have 6 files I need for work in 9 hours from now. The computer is networked to the one I am on now. If your only advice is to get a new computer or take it to a professional I understand but no need to respond.

I DO not believe this is a hardware error. What do you think it might be? How do might I fix it? What do I do PLEASE help!

Thank you.

I am not too proud to take a personal email or yim if you can help now?

I had a mechanic tell me that 2000-2002 3-series BMWs have engine problems (there supposedly was some recall), but MSN Autos says only the 2003 has had problems (occasional ignition coil failures). Does that mean only 2004+ models are worth buying?

Hey there this is a very old Yahoo User recently I have started noticing that all my Sent Mails are not being saved in the Sent Draft for me to recall who I’ve sent my Mails to, or whether I’ve even sent one at all. As far as I could recall I know they used to be saved now I hardly have three randomly ordered Emails in my Sent Box. So if you could please lemme know where the Mails are going to and if they’re being sent to the receiver at all. K well thanks a lot for your cooperation.

An Old Yahoo User :O

My friends car had a check engine light come on, which i instracted him to get it scanned for free at auto zone. I don’t recall the code but it indicated a cylinder 4 misfire. Due to budget, he only wants to replace the bad plug and save a full tune up for later. The engine which I believe is a 3.3 has 3 wires that come off the top and another 3 that are hidden in underneath.

Which one is #4?

I read something in passing on the net, can’t recall all the details but it was something like if you have DSLR w/ auto focus and you were auto focused at certain focal length and then you turn off the camera, when you turn back on, the focus is messed up so you have to re-focus at infinity and then turn it back off and on, etc.etc I know have the details missing, but can anyone explain this? (I don’t yet have DSLR, just in the process of learning and shopping around for one). THANKS.

Hi, my friend had an accident. And her brain seems to auto delete unwanted bad memories. I am trying to find the name for it and a cure.

This is not the 1st time seriously bad incident happen to her and every time shortly after she experienced it, the memory seems to disappear and it all seems a dream to her and she can’t recall back as it has been erased.

I don’t recall seeing much from the Unions in the Press. I would think they see illegals as scabs crossing the picket line (the US border). Average American wages have fallen in construction (framers, landscaping, etc.) and service (hotel cleaning, etc.) industries. I would think it’s only a matter of time when coveted jobs like auto manufacturing, trucking, steel work, and others would eventually suffer a wage drop. Can any Union members share some info?

Cardinal Mahoney has finally apologized to the victims of priest sexual abuse. He and the Catholic church (unlike the teachings of the Catholic religion) have doggedly protected their priest *** offenders and stone-walled any attempts to bring the matter into the open and help to heal the victims. Only when he is being forced to testify has he made a deal to avoid having all of the facts come out. The church’s actions remind me of the auto industry recall legal battles over faulty car designs. I would like to suggest that every Catholic worshiper refuse to donate money to the church for a period of three months to show your disgust with the corporate church mentality that puts product over safety of their faithful.
I seriously doubt that there are any parishes in the US that exist hand-to-mouth. Three months lack of funds will not cause the AC to be turned off. In addition, remember that the church you attend is where you practice your faith, it IS NOT your faith. Think about it, the sexually violated parishioners have suffered far worse consequences than sitting for an hour in an un-air conditioned building.
Willing parishioners could also form groups and worship at designated homes for the three month period. Something to consider.
Bless the abused.
