Computer system driver problem

[Rellik]

WINDOWS\drivers\ipvnmon.sys

My startup halts on this line when this line comes up :oops: .

I did a google search and didnt find anything useful. Does anyone have any information on this? More importantly, do I have to re-install XP?

I cant even start it up in safe mode... and It's pissing me off. Anyone? :-?

Did this just happen all of a sudden? Open any weird emails? There is a newer virus that has started

i was going to say start in safe mod and do a system restore... but then i read the last line. Startup problems suck... dont know what that is though.

Insert your XP CD, so its the first thing that boots up, and then go through all the steps and do a repair instead of a install, and it should recover the file thats corrupt.

Just started last night when I got home. No mail or downloads (I rarely surf at home).

rarely surf, but downloads a lot

Yes. They haven't adapted viruses to jpg's and WMV's... yet.

I'll throw my XP CD in when I get home tonight and see whats up. Hopefullym, it's something it can recover.

Problem with that repair is that it'll take at leasr 45 minutes to run, if you can get past the administrator password it wants, even if there is none.

There is no administrator password on my computer. And the time it would take to repair it would be far less that reinstalling all those damn service packs.

when you install winxp pro it requires you to enter a admin password. It did for me. I dunno if you have home edition or what. You dont see the Admin login info until you boot up into safe mode

[Rellik]

I know I have pro, and it's never asked me for an admin password. It tells me that my password is going to expire and I need to put in a new one... but it's a blank password I just keep re-entering. is that the admin password you speak of?
