Save My Computer Please
OK, here's the deal: I have a WinXp PC (home) and everything was peachy i did a recent virus check, AdAware check and it was all good
but then, this morning, a friend tries to use Championship Manager as i watch Family Guy. Everything started screwing up, so i tried to fix it, but all I could do was restart. CTRL ALT DEL didn't work, so i manually restarted.
now when i turn it on, 90% of the time I get a blue screen with the egg timer - note: keyboard and mouse work fine.
the other 10%, i get a list of my usernames, the Windows logo and the "turn off" command.... except i can't click any of them
i don't really wanna wipe my computer, i don't have a reboot disk, and i'm using my Win ME PC with 56k at the moment.... what do i do
anyone that can help - even you, yers, much appreciated

Irene, that's probably more useful than the crap i'm gonna get from the technical staff
"did you try running it in safe mode?"
"of course i ****ing did, do i sound disabled to you?"

he's not smart enough to do this, so i realy doubt it
and i saw what he was doing, just putting Champ into different disk drives getting it to work
note: it did work, but he closed it when he lost.

1.5? was it the early one where you don't need the CD to play it for? cause that pushes things to hell
hmmm, why pick one from Premier? take one from Third and get them to the top

well it does require the CD, yeah
and Scunthorpe were never intended to get that far up the table

how about you place the HD in another PC (your old one?) set it as slave and start the PC up, delete CM from it, place it back in your new one and see if that solves the problem
isn't cambridge in that one? in the last edition I have, they were decent with that dutch goalie, Young, etc.

god knows, i haven't even checked it out myself
and no can do Mr Yers this old PC ain't gonna let it happen
firstly, it physically can't
secondly, i'm not sure if different OS's can let you do that
thirdly, i can't modify my new computer else i lose the guarantee
