Blue screen at startup
When I start computer the desktop open but before everything loads up, the
screen turns blue and it says an error has occured to continue press enter to continue. error 06:0200:0000081A When I press enter windows then loads. But this happens every time. Also a box comes up and says selective startup when I go to run msconfig and set at normal startup, apply and restarts computer the same happens. And msconfig is still set at Selective startup |

And msconfig is still set at Selective startup This sounds as though something that loads during windows startup, possibly a device driver, is causing problems. Try going into safe mode (often this can be done by pressing and holding down CTRL while the machine is starting, as soon as the manufacturer's logo goes out, which should bring up a menu). If there is no error message starting safe mode, windows as such should be OK. In which case the usual procedure is to use msconfig, disable everything and then try starting up with items introduced one at a time until the culprit is identified. If on the other hand safe mode does NOT work, then essential system files may have become corrupted. Try booting from a floppy (ideally a windows startup disk although your computer may have been supplied with a recovery floppy disk) and running scandisk - it may tell you which files are corrupt.
