Serious Issues

Post by [§Ŕ] ŤhěxĐâŕkśîđěŕ »

I was f*cking with 'set texture btransparent true', and when I went to Bluff like that, I got a BSoD (minidump, so I didn't see the message). When it rebooted, I wanted to post this but I found out I can't run Firefox. So I'm using IE6 now, yay! >_>

Of course, I got this:

Ok, then I decided to reboot again, and when windoze shutted down, I got a minidump again. When windoze started up again, I got the same error again. And I still can't run Firefox.

I mean, srsly, WHAT THA F*CK?!

EDIT: I tried System Restore. It didn't help. Damn!

EDIT^2: Grrreat. Now messenger won't run.

Woah, I have never seen this message. The only ones I get after BSODs are "Your system has recovered from a serious error. Please tell Microsoft about this issue...".

Guess you should just throw your Windows out the window now... And yes, System Restore never helps. I've used it several times, but then I gave up and from now on I keep it disabled. Saves me a hefty few GB of disk space.

It looks like your registry is fubar. You'll most likely need to restore an image backup (if you have one) or reinstall Windows.

for me this looks more like a virus of some sort or hijacker- which again would explain the not working messenger and firefox. I'd run Spybot (safer-networking.org) and some viruskiller (like avast.com)

I scanned Firefox and Messenger, no viruses or spyware. I've also scanned the Windows folder. Same. Yeah, I think you all guys have a point here. I'm pretty sure that the registry is fubar'd. Anyhoo, tomorrow, when Dad gives me the windoze XD CD, I'll reinstall the whole sch*iß.

Btw yeah GreatEmerald, I've also uploaded that pic, even before the one I got.

I'm pretty sure you meant that. ;)

Oh and BTW, I think my GFX card is fuxx0r'd. It always makes some weird noises. More specific, it literally does LOL@CYAN stuff. (It doesn't like cyan color and transparent stuff.)

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the system restore renamed some folder 'to preserve contents'. Guess where? In Messenger and Firefox. :razz:

EDIT^2: Oh and btw, IE doesn't work anymore too. I think my windows got a rock thru it (not literally). No homo. :D

Bummer....if you have the money, go and get a GeForce 8 or 9 series ;D

And I'd recommend installing WIndows Professional, as the net coding is alot better on that version then the Home or Office :P

Oww. I have slots for DDR1 RAM and AGP video card. That's a bummer. :P

Well, I'm gonna install w1nd0ze XD (un)professional, like every time.

Oh and btw, I don't really give a flying piece of fuck for anything as long as my HDD with all sh*t in there is ok. And it is. Ok, I have some .CHK files or whatever at Firefox's folder but everything else is intact.

Nonsense. XP Home and Prof. are identical except some limitations in Home and some additions for Professional (which again are usually only needed for business purposes in big LAN's f.e.). Its using the same core, no difference.

If it is a registry error there is a program you should try before reinstalling windows.It's called CCleaner.Works great for almost every registry problem you could think of.I might have vista (which CCleaner doesn't run correctly in) but I know it works flawlessly on XP and older OS's.

Meh, I already have the CD and I know I have one of five partitions unused, and I have this windoze already for about half a year and it's haxx0r'd (by me, of course), like, there is no Internet Explorer, just Intrnet Fuxploder, etc.

I'll do a clean install and see does it work. If not, I've seen my old GeForce 6800's last breath LOL.

you can get installs of winxp that have an extremely small amount of things installed so it's more like an operating system rather than bloatware that runs everything :p

LOL I uninstalled Firefox and installed it again, now it works. And Messenger also works. No more BSoDs so far. Except that registry error which I learned to ignore LOL and if something fubars, I have a, ahem, let's just say, I have another copy of WinXP on my left MUHAHAHA.

For lulz.

EDIT: Meh, Firefox just crashed. It seems I'm gonna have to install a new copy of WinXP in a couple of days. W/e, I already exported some useless sh*t from messenger and backup'd Firefox's bookmarks and sh*t. I'm ready for new winDOZE. :D
