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.

No Windows disk at all?
What about a windows disk that came with one of your other computers?

This problem could be caused by several things.
I would say it fairly evenly split between 3 possible causes
Spy/spamware or virus corrupted something in the prefetch directory
a hardware problem causing a file to get corrupted, possible drive starting to crash, ect.
just one of those things were the planets were in the wrong alignment.

Honesty there have been to many issue's with with the whole prefetch thing that can't be explained.
For some odd reason it appears to be prone to problems.

If you don't have a windows CD to start the computer that way, how about a cd burner?
I can find you a boot program you can burn to disk, then use it to start your computer enough to fix the problem.
