Xp pro bootup issues

[thinkxplx]

While trouble shooting wireless connection, I plugged the cable from router into my T30 and then booted it. XP pro displays a blue screen with a message that there was a problem and that windows has been shut down. The system again attempts to reboot. This goes on and on

when I try rebooting in safe mode it stops at at point where its loading driver agp440. and displays the blue screen with the error message.

What happened? How do I fix this? I have the recovery disks, but my cd rom does not work. Help!!! I need to get my T30 up and running.

TIA

This sounded familiar, and of course agp440.sys is a video driver.

Sure enough there were ton of Google hits when searching on the most unique term in your problem description, that file name.

Check out:

"agp440.sys and dead XP system"

You might even go to the last first, since it considers the advice at the previous sites and why they often don't work.
