Startup problems
I have recently had very bad startup probelms with my Windows XP
Professional. Whilst playing a game on the computer, it froze, so I tried to exit the game using Ctrl+Alt+Delete. This did not work, so I pressed several other buttons. One included Shift+Alt+Print Screen, which made a beep noise. I then turned the computer off, but when I turned it back on, the screen went black and the hard drive started beeping as it had done before. However, whatever I treid to do, nothing happened apart from the beeping coming from the hard drive. I think that I may have turned high contrast on but whatever has happened, the screen stays black and the hard drive continues to beep. How can I fix it? |

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general: Beeps are a means for your computer's BIOS to inform you that something is wrong with your system. If you google on "beep codes" you should be able to match what you're hearing to what the error code means and go from there to resolve the problem. -- WGA is the best thing that has happened for Linux in a while.
