You might try a UPS to help condition the power a little bit. Or perhaps a surge protection device (UPS might be favorable)

they have a UPS, one of these cheap APC 1000 VA jobs, not a true UPS. After a week of turning of and sometimes coming back on, the Monitor is dead. The funny thing is, they work fine for a month or so before they go bad. A 17 inch CRT worked fine for a year.

I have a customer that has had two 19 inch Jetway LCD Monitors die in six months. I have used this monitor in other locations (some have multiple monitors) with no troubles. I have observed the line voltage and it can jump from 110 to 123 volts and back 20 times in one minute. Anyone know if this could be the culprit? I am getting no support from the power company or the supplier.

I do have to disagree with you on this point, only the registry setting are returned, not the applications or programs (.DLL etc). I may be wrong, but I have been in the PC tech world since 1984 and have not wittnessed this magic! Lyle

Using the restore program only restores the the Registry, I would use the disks that came with your system for the Motherboard. or just go to Hardware,Device Manager and remove the 'Sound' devices. Lyle

Actually I checked it again and it says :

Invalid BOOT.INI file
Booting from C:\Windows

Isn't boot.ini just in XP?
Really have no idea what to do.

I think you may have corrupted your XP OS, if you reinstall XP to the 'F' drive, I think you will automatically have a dual boot screen come up.
