Jan 2010 Microsoft update trashed my Win XP (64bit) PC
- by Mark Pawelek
I waited until this morning to install these 5 updates. My ancient Win XP (32 bit) PC has no problems but my Win XP 64 bit will not start.
From the startup menu none of the 5 options given (e.g. safe mode, last known good configuration, etc) work.
After selecting an option, the Windows Logo screen appears. About 9 seconds later a blue screen of death flashes [I can't read the error messages because it's there for about 100 ms] then it cycles through the reboot again.
PS: This is a pretty cheap mobo (Ge Force) with an AMD 3 GH chip - but until today it did actually work.
What should I do? Reinstall the O/S?
