Well.... circumstances; the system had been complaining about a missing dll-file for some days ('trqkeimo.dll'), on which no hits occur when searched for on google, etc.
The next thing that happens is that the comp refuses to start explorer, as previously described.
Today, I however managed to use System Restore to get the settings back to the day before everything screwed up.
However, upon restarting the computer thereafter, things are now even worse and apparently beyond system restore's ressurective capabilities.
The error however, tends to be slightly different now; windows is said to not verified to be activated (because I previously ran system restore; that always happens after that) and you have to validate it. However, the validation form never appears, but instead the system logs out after about a minute (of doing nothing).
Thus, the safe-mode can no longer be accessed wither (since Windows isn't activated).
Just recently, I also tried the Recovery Console, which haven't done me any good.... (fixboot didn't do a thing and I'm not sure if I'm willing to risk running fixmbr; it seems from it's description that it might screw things up even worse).
Well, that's sort of about it.
(And yes, the computer's about 2 months old, cost about 3000$ and was bought as ... what you know would call it in english; it haven't had any earlier user or so anyways, allthough I bought it mounted).
O ja
