Windows Protection Error
I keep getting this error when I restart my computer:
Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer. Press any key to continue... but when I press a key, nothing happens. I know the protection error could be caused by any number of things, but I have no idea how it occured. One day, I turned it on... the there it was.... I checked the autoexec.bat to see if someone was just trying to play some kind of trick on me, it would have pleased me greatly if that would have been the case, but as you can tell, it wasn't. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks. lildrummerboy |
