ok, so I bought a webcam, Microsoft's LifeCam VX-3000, I installed it..went
fine..restarted my computer a few times then..windows won't boot up. I turn
the power on, then the 1st Windows screen loads then a blank black screen and
no more action.

I really don't want to format my computer, I have very important files on it.
I have tried the F12, and F8 things, I have also ran a test on my harddrive
to make sure it is healthy.
I am using Windows XP Pro, with Service pack 3.

Please pretty please help me.

You'll want the

How and the OP can't boot in any Mode unless He/She unable to understand
Safe Mode and Last Good known Configuration?

To the OP:
Did you tried last Good known Configuration that worked?
What you get on the Screen?

You can use Live CD and try to uninstall the Came:

Or Ultimate Boot CD:

Re: HELP!!


Did you tried to leave it blank!
Some Vendor will give you the password if you give them a call or if you
searched the internet for your model and make for default administrator
passwords.
Try the Ultimate Boot CD option or take it to your local reapir shop to fix
it for you.

Re: HELP!!

My guess is that it was never installed on your PC but if you are not
able to boot, it might not help. If you restart the computer and when
it is about to load Windows, press the F8 button and try using Last
Known Good Configuration." If that doesn't help, try instead to use
Safe Mode and see if Windows Will load.
