loblo Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 You could attach an image to the post I guess or link to an image you upload to some free image sharing website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredledingue Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Disabling "everything" in msconfig definetly evacuates 95% of the problems you may get with a corrupt or inadequate installation.Not as minimal as Safe Mode thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
