Finally, Ive found a sweet forum for us geeks! Just wanted to first of all say this is a sweet forum!
Ok, heres the deal, I was really getting fed up with the error message "type mismatch" everytime i clicked on my computer. Them my IE kept screwing up. So i decided to go ahead and reformat and do a nice fresh install. everyone likes those. So i went ahean and used my recovery cd (xp home) that came with my pc. Everything went well and seemed ok until i restarted after trying to install some drivers for my vid card. when i went to restart my computer went straight to dos. and would not let me get back to windows. but... if i put in my recovery cd and let it boot from the cd and i press esc to boot from hard drive (as it gives that option) then it will let windows start. So.. my question is, how do i get rid of this going straight to dos thing when i dont have my recovery cd in? Thanks a lot for the help.
