When shutting down Windows XP on a desktop computer, I had been getting an
"Unexpected Error" message from MS Anti-Spy. So I tried to uninstall it from
Add/Remove programs, and got a message saying something like "Could not
remove from registry, contact your system admin." When I rebooted, the
computer was virtually dead - some hard drive action but no signal to
monitor. What can I do, other than take the machine to a repair shop?
 
HI,

did you try at boot up [F8] and try the last known good config?

I tried F8 but it didn't work. Still no signal to the monitor.

Hi,

can you start in safe mode?

And from there do system restore to a point before the problem.

If you don't even see display of text relating to bios settings, for
example, I'd be inclined to guess that you have a significant hardware
issue--power supply, or dead monitor, for example.

Neither of these is going to be caused by software--this kind of coincidence
is perfectly possible.
