He means that System Restore could cause more problems than fixes You should make a clean reinstall, make a backup of your important document and files, make an integrated Windows XP SP2 CD, format and reinstall.

Or tell us what's exactly the error message first, may be we can do something, but I doubt it

see the problem  is i can't back up,format and reinstall

i have a 80 gig hdd, and that is full of important files.
andi do not have the money to go and buy a bigger hdd, to trasfer the files to.

Are your system files (the Windows, Program Files, Documents and Settings folder) in a separate partition? If so, you'd just need to format that partition, and save files you want to keep to another partition.

Take a look at the edit I made to my other post (we posted almost at the same time so maybe you didn't see it):

what exactly is that?


if its not something in the system, maybe its just a program that locks sutff or something


edit: nevermind, i found out http://www.computerhope.com/software/drwatson.htm um, since this logs errors...and i guess it provides them too, what does this error message say (asked before.)?

i'll try to get the error to come up again, and i'll take a screen shot to show you guys.

now it won't the error doesn't pop up, so i can't say what it says.
