I downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0b via windows
update this evening. After download and installation
completed, a computer reboot was requested.
After rebooting the computer, windows failed to load.
The ME logo splash came up and the computer just sat
still.
I tried rebooting into safe mode and the same thing
happens. If I Esc the logo the windows load process
states that Setup is updating system configuration files,
but nothing happens.
I have booted with my floppy and ran scandisk /all as
well as the registry checker. The first time I ran
regcheck it found a registry error and restored to a good
registry. Since that point the computer will still not
boot and the registry checker says the registry is fine.
I then reinstalled windows to no avail. The reinstall
went fine, found the hardware, etc. When the install was
completed I was asked to reboot and was still unable to
get past the logo screen.
Any suggestions?
