Greetings,I can't help you with your question, but I would suggest that your brother and you both get uninterruptable power supplies (UPS). I have survived several power brownouts and blackouts over the past few years and, thanks to my UPS, I have had no trouble. In my opinion they are worth the money.
Last night I was running my brother's computer in Safe Mode so I could
access My Computer, etc as it is a bit clogged up with protection,
Norton, Window Washer, Spy Sweeper, and maybe even McAfee. I had just
loaded Shell Extension Viewer (Thank you, R. McCarty) and made sure
that I could run it from cmd line but had not yet disabled anything
with it. Walked away for a few minutes and a brownout occurred, room
lights very dim, monitor off, and disk access light on steady. Yup, no
UPS.
Window startup fails. Will not start in any normal or safe mode or
last good config. Last thing that appears to load is Mup.sys before it
cycles again. I assume we need to boot from Windows CD/DVD but how
would you proceed from that point?
Thanx,
gtb
