I have XP on my newest computer it worked fine for over a year. Then I had a registry
corruption. Now that i've overwritten the bad hives with fresh ones from
C:\Windows\Repair, I tried booting it with no luck. I can't get into any of the F8
boot options. No USB stuff is plugged in, only monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I haven't
put any PCI cards in yet. If I try safe mode, it gets past mup.sys, but ends with
a screen with a Windows XP logo and circles. I think it's an anti-piracy feature,
of course, this is a legal activated version that was OEM installed by HP. Microsoft
has gone overboard with it's zealous "anti"-piracy measures and I can't boot my computer
in any shape or form. The only XP files I've copied is the XP registry which I will
bring back once I can boot my computer. I think windows is freaking out over that.
Does anyone know how to prove to windows that you're not running a bootleg?
