My computer is an HP Pavilion Slimline s7700n PC and I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. Vista came pre installed so everything is legit.

Well I turn my computer on, and it goes to the screen with the little green progress bar. It takes about 25-30 moves across the screen before it goes to the logo screen, then after it does that i can count about 13 seconds before everything freezes. It does it no matter what. If I move the mouse around, it will freeze. If I try to log in, it will freeze. Don't know what to do. I can log into safe mode but that's about it. I'm using a System Rescue CD right now to get on firefox and type this. My computer hasn't worked in about 1.5 months since trying to install SP1. Need anymore details? thank
-
i didnt it manually, i set all my updates to automatic for the things i could. i guess i should have done some more research...
-
Yes I did sorry, was on phone and didn't notice the error
-
umm not sure on the exact specs you want. mind replying back with specifics? its a standard hp slimline s7770n that we bought from the store.

my cd drive is the 3rd one listed, my second one is a recovery partition that didnt complete. when i double click the cd drive icon it doesnt let me do anything. it says it cannot read the disc in the drive. ive tried a few discs and none work.
-
im not sure how to exactly access the drive in safe mode. i put my usb drive in, nothing happens. i put the cd in, it spins a lot but doesnt show up in the cd drive. so... donno what to do.
-
hmm i did some bootrec commands and can now get into safemode. before i try anything with pending.xml how do i copy my pictures to a cd or flash drive. when i insert them in they arent showing in my computer. any ideas? i might just take ownership of the file and rename to pending.old.xml. i would just like to get my pics on a disk first.

nope wordpad doesnt open only notepad
-
well today i went and bought myself an 8gb flash drive on sale and i was wondering... i found out that i can go to cmd prompt in win re and open notepad and locate where the pictures are at but when i try to open them they are just letters and numbers. if i drag and drop them to where my flash drive is in my computer, would i be able to open and save on another computer? thanks for your help, sean
-
yeah ive seen that page. ive seen most of those pages but they never say if the file has a lot of numbers and letters behind it. i also have a cleanup.xml file but no numbers and letters behind it.
-
the exact name of the file is pending.xml.01c8f7t07237e5ea and it is 24.6 mb, if that is any help...
-
i havent been able to get ahold of my friend that has the working computer and external drive, so thats a negative. i can hopefully talk to him in the next few days. i just wish there was another way...

yes it is the same computer. im running windows vista home prem. what other info would you like to know? i have tried to do chkdsk c: f and r and sfc /scannow and nothing seems to work. it says the orphaned file it fixes is beep.sys but it doesnt seem to work. im on my phones internet so i cant really do much research what other info do you need?

well my new problem is now my computer takes a long time to boot up, and it gets to a screen that says "installing service pack: 3 of 3 0%" and its frozen on that screen. sometimes it shuts down by itself. i tried to do some research and found out that i need to delete a pending.xml file. i can open up command prompt and then notepad and see where the file is and i see a pending.xml with a bunch of numbers and letters behind it. is that the one im supposed to delete? thanks, sean.
