please guys, help me out because i'm at a loss what to do...
After using version 2.0 for ages without any trouble (some fresh installs after windows updates, that's all), i saw that 3.5 was out and decided to install that. Having had bad experience with installing updates over older versions (not flyakite, but nvidia drivers) i decided to do a complete uninstall of version 2.0 before installing 3.5. The problem is that now when i try to login to windows i get the blue screen:
STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x00000000 0x0000000)
remarkable also is the fact that i now have to supply my user name and password whereas before i didn't have to, as i have a single user system. The problem occurs right after clicking ok. (leaving the password empty, as i have never set any)
I tried to go to last settings that work, boot in safe mode and use debugger (though i have no experience using debugger), but nothing worked. Also tried the windows recovery but it doesn't detect my sata hdd and since i hate the recovery mode I will save that as an absolute last resort.
I have the suspicion that the smss.exe is the key, because now that i have hooked my hd to another computer and am exploring the windows folder, i see a folder named F:$WIN_NT$.~BT, which seems to me is a temporary folder (im not sure as im not really expert), which contains a system32 folder with only smss.exe and ntdll.dll in it....could it be that this is a bad hangover from the uninstallation of flyakite and that i just have to delete this folder to get my computer working again?
p.s. I also uninstalled the uninstaller, etc. as i wanted a completely fresh install...if only i had just installed the new verson OVER it:(((((((((((
