Are my troubles as bad as i think?

[Nix]

Follow these steps:

1. Start with PC off
2. Start Tapping F8
3. Press power button to start boot of pc
4. Menu should appear
5. Press Shift+F8 so that Step By Step Confirmation = Y (at bottom of screen)
6. Select Normal Boot
7. Press enter

Now the computer will start to boot and each step of the boot process will be displayed for you to either Accept (Press enter or Y then Enter) or decline (Press N then enter).

So for each line presented, just press enter until you reach the line that tries to load cpqidecd.sys and answer N

Keep going answering Y to everything else and see if windows loads ok.

If you get other errors, write down what the line presented was before you got the error, ie the one you just replied Y to and post them back here.

If you still don't get into windows try this:

1. Start with PC off
2. Start Tapping F8
3. Press power button to start boot of pc
4. Menu should appear
5. Select Command Prompt Only
6. Press enter

You should be at the C:\> prompt (if not type C: and press enter then cd\ and press enter)

Now type ren autoexec.bat autoexec.vdr and press enter
then ren config.sys config.vdr and press enter

Now try booting and see what happens.
