HELP ME!
Sunday, April 3, 2005 by MGiff | Discussion: Windows XP
I am trying to repair a friends laptop that is refusing to cooperate. She is getting the blue screen on boot-up, Stop 0x24 error. I know what caused it, I know how to repair it, the problem I am having is how the heck do I bypass the blue screen??? If I get the screen with the boot up options, before I can type any commands, the blue screen pops up. If I try to boot in safe mode, the blue screen pops up. I can't even run a scan disk without that blue screen popping up and I can't do anything while it is there. Does anyone know how to get rid of the blue screen so I can fix this thing? That blue screen even tells me what to do to repair the errors, but it doesn't tell how to get out of it in order to perform them! Help, please, somebody?????

Jeeze, all the windows updates! 19+13+1! I did find a virus from the previous installation though, something called Padobot.F? It didn't sound too ominous in the description but now there are dozens of back-door Trojan Horses trying to slip in. Sooo glad this is not my puter......................

You're friend should take you out for a nice dinner, at the very least.

At least your friend will have a nice clean install after this.
