I bought a Dell Dimension with XP a few months ago and it's infuriating.
My latest problem concerns booting up. When I turn it on I get the regular Dell screen but then it jumps to the "We apologize for the inconvenience...." screen and it counts down to regularly start windows - it won't let me move the highlight to other options. Then it goes to the Windows boot screen for a few seconds, goes blank and starts the boot proceedure all over again as if I'd just turned the machine on. I've left it for over a half an hour and it just loops like this over and over.
I'm certain I must have a corrupted file somewhere but I have no boot disks and since XP came with the machine I have no Windows XP CD ROM.
Anybody have a suggestion?
