i can't seem to be able to fix computers anymore

Post by axbaby »

so far this week i have not been able to fix 3 alien laptops.
it seems Xp is getting harder to repair.

i have a computer that boots fine then logs off and reboot, all options "F8" ,safe mode , disable auto restart on system failure etc .. same thing happens
then xp bootdisk repair , can't work because admin password which i already know and type properly "works on log on screen but not xp bootdisk" boot with linux xp boot cd /password crack--er .. disable xp admin password ,make a new admin password,delete all passwords "like i have done too many times" and it still refuses to log me in as admin

i am forced to reformat restart

next computer .. won't allow an xp bootdisk repair because it requires files for the hard disk to be seen "ACER's way of making sure you use their rescue disks which of course no one can find"

next computer , create restore point then disable some spyware items that gobble 40 mb ram on a 284 meg system and 128 shared memory "some fired idiot put a password to the bios and i can't reduce shared memory" to help this poor ram starved system ... boots fine then logs off .. same as the other Acer bastard.
reboot to restore but same as the Acer system all bootup options "F8" won't save me.
boot with xp disk .. NO WINDOWS INSTALLATION FOUND ..ARGGGGGGGGGGGG

people come to me and lately i am left looking like a total idiot where before i was saving peoples Virus filled asses.

anyone have a clue what i missed?

words we can't say at q3w :) "password crack--er and alie-ns" spelling is wrong
password cracker

Whoa! You need to find a 7-11, dude, and rediscover the true path. All that nature stuff causes cancer.

On Topic: I once brought a computer back from the BSD, but I have trouble setting up manual firewalls. I'm like an idiot savant. Maybe you found the opposite of my condition?

I think the admin logon and user logon are different.
I know when I install XP it asks for a admin password but after you create a user.
