Default Clean XP install problem - 10-03-2010, 11:11 PM
Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can help with regard to an admittedly self-inflicted problem. I accidentally terminated windows explorere exe file in task manager one day. Consequently the screen went black and when I switch on any time since my Mini 9 just cos to a blank screen. I've tried to do a clean install of XP again with the CD, but once I go to the boot menu and select the external drive the cd is in I just a blank screen again. Anybody have any ideas as to how to get it reinstalled. I don't care about losing anything from it. The only alteration I've made was to upgrade the RAM to 2gb. Anyone? Pretty please,

Cheers,

Neil
