So my computer decided to take a dump on me. Everytime I try to start XP, it comes up with the "Your computer didn't shut down properly, would you like to start in safe mode etc...."

I've tried all the settings, but basically I can't get past it. I even have the legit XP disc.

Any suggestions?

f8 during start up and revert back "last known config". all i know

Have you got lots of important stuff you wanna keep on your HD?

I'm a bit drunk now but I'd say start your pc with your XP disc in and try the Repair function it has. Google that and it may fix your problem

Can you get in Safe mode either? my pc did that once

ya, best thing you can try to do for starters is repair...dont go to last know good configuration unless you KNOW that you have set you machine to make such recovery spots, otherwise youll go back to where it was out of the box.
