Didn't work. I will just install XP on the second hard drive... can you all tell me where the registry files are located? So that I may copy them from the old windows to the new one? thanks.

Just popped the cd in, pressed start new task, went to browse, went to setup.exe on windows cd and clicked Upgrade. Hope this works.

So is there anyway I can somehow run the Microsoft windows XP using task manager and repair windows or something? If not, I have a second hard drive, could I just install windows on that and play games off the first? ANd somehow export the registry? Like install windows on HD 2. Then go to the first HD's windows folder and grab the registry so I can still play games? WHen I run it in safe mode the start bar flashes on and then off.

No particular reason no, and yes I can run explorer using task manager, only the start button flahses up for just a second. I cans still play games and stuff as long as it is run from task manager.

Hi, I just joined up here, Thinking about staying I'm having trouble with my pc. I recently removed the log on screen for windows, making it log on automatically as there is only one user. It worked great for about a week. I'm not sure if thats whats causing the problem. Anway last night I was playing Star Wars EOW and I decided to stop playing, so I held down the off button and it turned off. Then this morning I plugged in the Crossover cable to connect the two computers. Then I turned on the problem computer and when it logged on there was no explorer. There was the desktop picture, but no start buttons or icons. So I press alt+ctrl+del and the task manager came up. I was able to start processes like play games through task manager, but as imagined, this is not ideal xD So any help would be GREAT. Thanks, When I run explorer.exe with program manager, the start button appears for a second, then disappears.
