so like about a week ago my computer hadone of those little pop thingys that says my computer needs updates blah blah blah so click it and it did it's thing and i wnet to get a sandwich and forgot about the next day i went to my computeand it was off so i hit the power button and blamo this stuffs starts I turn it on it says "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent Hardware or software change might have caused this." it gives me the options to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking and safe mode with command promptall of which go through a lot of white writing thatgos bytoo fast to read and then goto a windows signature blue colored screen and stays that way tillI hard boot it. It also saysI canstart at last know good configuration or start up normaly both of which go to the black screen that says Windows XP and has the little loading bar under it. After the bar moves a little bit and I'm full of false hope it gos to a blue screen that says "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to protect your computer." then theres all these steps that i can't do to fix it and it says, "technical Information: *** STOP: 0x0000007E (0x80000003, 0x805c370c, 0xf79f42b4, 0xf79f3fb0)"at the Dell loading scree in the very begining i can go to setup and I've done that it works I've run like a million test every thing comes back clear and no chage at the windows start up. I'm sure there are ways to fix this easily and all it's gonna cost me is the eraseing of all my files but I'd much rather keep all my games, movies, music, pictures, documates and programs soooooooo if theres away I don't have to get rid of all that stuff that would be very nice :) even if it's gonna besuperduperhard.3 people need an answerI do too

Hi Arianna Marie,first at all: Do you have adisk with the original Windows XP OS, or do you have a recovery disk?Try to boot from this Disk and see wether you have the option to repair the system.Have a nice day!Regards,Rainer
