Basically I get the following error message….

Missing or
C:\windows.000\system\vm32.vxd
C:\windows.000\ifshlp.sys
Wininit.exe missing/unable to load

To make it short…..

I have as my operating system… Windows XP Pro upgrade
(From full version of WINDOWS ME) FAT32.

I was recording a live vocal in Samplitude, when the Monitor Screen went
BLACK, I heard the music in the background, but could not see the picture, so
I pulled the plug and tried to restart it.

The video was breaking up when I went into the bios to see if everything was
normal there, and they were.

However I can’t get to operating system.

Hitting F8 gets me to the option to boot in Safe Mode, however after
selecting Safe Mode the next screen gives me the ERRORS above, and I can’t
get past it.

I do music only on that computer, I don’t have and MODEM/NIC installed.
All my software is legally bought.

Can someone, can anyone please help me and my situation?

Thank you very much.
Marcus Kemp
