Cudadad crashed our computer, Again...HELP>>SOS Options

[T/A6Pak]

Apparently last night Dave was playing on the Cudakid's computer when suddenly it said corrupt file and the game closed down. It said " Windows/Prefetch/Dumprep.exe-1B46F901.PX is corrupt"

Then it said run scan disc. So Dave runs the scan disk then the computer will no longer work.

The black page comes up that gives you a time limit to run as normal/ in safe mode/ and a few other options, but nothing works at all.



Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

To get to the other safe mode options
1) Restart your computer
2) Watch your computer start up, as soon as it says "Verifying DMI pool data" start tapping the F8 key. ( you got to be quick)
3) This should bring you to "Windows Advanced Options Menu"
It will list these options.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with networking
Safe Mode with command prompt <-- pick this

Plus several other options.
Don't get to happy when you see "Last known Good configuration" As that's more for registry problems.

Even if you can't get it to work via command prompt, there is still hope.
The other option is to start the computer using your windows CD and going to the recovery console.

If you do get the computer to load using the command promtp option , here is how you'll fix the problem
You should be looking at a black screen with a blue title bar that says cmd.exe
The prompt will say something like c:\Documents and settings\Your login name to the computer
1) type cd c:\windows\prefetch
the prompt should now say c:\WINDOWS\Prefetch
2) type del Dumprep.exe-1B46F901.Pf

You should get a message asking if you want to delete this file.
Hit y

Now restart your computer & you'll be good to go.

Like I said , even if you can't access the computer using the safe mode command promt
I'm 100% sure I can walk you through fixing it by using your windows cd to start the computer.
