All I can say is"you guys are awsome, Tried most of all you discribed, I found out alot about my computer doing what you suggested, but in the end still had a problem booting up. Just for the heck of it, I went into "Manage" in "My Computer" and took a look at "System" under "Viewer" Got alarms every time it tried to load my Raid drivers, even though I do not run Raid, or even have them enabled when I built the computer. So just for S-N-G, I took my mother board CD and copied all the Raid drivers and loaded them, went into BIOS and dis-abled, and now works!!! WHAT THE HECK!!! How did this happen just by doing a restore???? Once again, all of you have took the time to help as always, and once again I learned alot, take care

Thans so much for all the replies guys, Will all of them a try and let you know the turn out Thanks again

If that is the case, could Windows installer Service be re-installed without a complete re-install of Windows??

Good morning all, I could really use someones help on this one. I am running Windows XP HOME with PC-cillion as my anti-virus. Last night as I was getting updates, I got mu noramal alert from PC-cillion that a program was tring to gain access to my computed when Windows Updates started. I screwwed up and said no, for some reason it blocked me off the internet. I shut off mt anti-virus and continued on the internet. When I was done I turned it back on and tried the internet again with no luck. Could not find what setting was causeing this, so I did a "RESTORE" to previous date. (BAD MOVE) after it re-booted, the Windows screen comes up with the running bar on bootom for about 15 seconds and freezes. Tried several times with same results. Started in SAFE mode with no problem, tried to access PC-cillion to turn off and even tried to delete program in both add/remove and in the programs uninstall tab and get this window pop-up "The Windows Installer Servive could not be accessed. This can accure if you are running Windows in Safe Mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correcly installed" Don't know if the PC-cillion program is causing this or something elese. Could someone give me an ideal how to get pass the boot-up screen. Willing to donate my rear off to this site if I can get this back up THANKS for any assistance Title edited -- Please, use correct description in your topic's title. --Sonic
