Try downloading this, extract it, then copy it over to the computer is the system32 folder. Might get you going again.

how can check on what it said?

Ntrain2k · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2009, 12:51:48 PM »

I don't think you can see what it said.

Will the computer boot back up? Sometimes it will, and give you a message about it recovered from a serious error, and to see details click here.
