Uh, sorry. Anyway, Uh....have you tried tinkering around in the BIOS? Try it to make sure the PC recognizes some hardware components. Otherwise, my choice would be to start with a Windows Boot Disk and see what happens from there.

Are there any specific errors that the machine gives you? A little more information would help.

Yes, I tinkered with BIOS. The system recognizes GFZ Card, CD Drive, Floppy, and Hard.
"start with a Windows Boot Disk and see what happens"
That''s what I did to try to repair windows. Before I repaired, it would show the windows loading screen for one second then reboot. Now it loads windows, but then goes to the Windows Setup screen like it''s trying to install windows again... Wierd. But I copied down some of the errors:

Here''s what is comes up with when I first get to loading screen:
winlogon.exe - Entry point not found
The procedure entry point AssocIsDangerous could not be located in the Dynamic Link Library SHLWAPI.dll

Then it sits there for a couple mins, then this:
RUNDLL
Error Loading shell32
The specified procedure could not be found.

Then it waits for another minute then:
Fatal Error
An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing. Setup was unable to initialize Network installation components.
Press OK to view the log file.

Then it displays log file. In the log file it has this:
Setup could not register the OLE Control C:\Windows\system32\rseanh.dll because of the following error:
DllRegisterServer return error 2147500037 (80004005)

And a bunch of other erros like that one are in the log file.

Here''s what happened. I had a mobo/cpu/ram. Then I upgraded them. I think this windows installation is trying to use DLLs for my old mobo. So I think I have to re-install windows. Which is no problem because I have one HardDrive for my OS and one for my FILES. So even if I re-install windows I won''t lose any of my important files! Neat huh?

The "Random Computer Error" gnomes are at it again. To eliminate them you must submerge your computer in holy water while it is running. Not to worry, the sparks and smoke is just the wrath of God striking down the gnomes.

Okay, does anyone know where I can get holy water?

Yeah, I don''t have any clue what the hell your problem is, so I''d advise you to reformat your hard drive.
And take out that joystick, there hasn''t been a good game that uses a joystick released in years and you know it.

You didn''t reformat the hard drive did you? Windows has enough dificulty coping with a new video card, let alone a new Mobo and CPU.
You need to reformat and reinstall windows.

Muahahaha... I am up and running now, thanks. Thanks for the help.
