Ok I was trying to optimize my Torrent downloads, and ran across something that said I should open up some more TCP connections. So I found a program online that could open up more TCP connections and shut off UAC on Vista.
I ran it and now Windows cant even start up. Unfortunately I cant find my Vista Ultimate cd, but I tried putting in my buddies Vista home basic cd and the computer wouldn't even recognize it.
The screen just basically says:
"Windows Error Recovery
A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
Insert windows installation cd
Click repair
Other options:
if power was interrupoted during start up, choose start windows normally:
Start windows normally
Safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt
last know good configuration (advanced)
"
Then it has a little timer at the end till it selects the highlighted option.
If I choose start windows normally it will get to the windows load bar then turn blue and restart. Safe mode just scrolls through a bunch of system32 stuff then restarts.
I have been meaning to go back to windows xp for sometime now, and I have the CD for it. So I was wondering if I could load xp and transfer everything from my hard drive over.
oh I just bought a new 1 TB harddrive, so I should be able to mess with that when it gets here.
MERRY X-MAS and thanks for all the help!!
