i have a HP Compaq 8710w that i bought through my university which was specially loaded with XP. Lately it has been crapping out on me and the final straw was that it would boot, be able to get into windows, then freeze about 30 seconds into windows.
Tried system restore, last known good configuration and the ****ty HP recovery. nothing works.
tried doing a repair, gets to 28-27 minutes left and "completing installation" and just locks. little green boxes move and the screens still transition.
Last few lines of setupapi.log
#-199 Executing "C:\WINDOWS\system32\setup.exe" with command line: setup -newsetup
#-336 Copying file "D:\i386\wmicvalu.xs_" to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM\wmiclivalueformat.xs l" via temporary file "C:WINDOWS\system32\WBEM\SETCC.tmp"
#E361 An unsigned or incorrectly signed file D:\i386\wmicvalu.xs_" will be installed (Policy=Ignore). Error 0x800b0100: No signature was present in the subject.
no idea what this means. please help, i have all my school work on this laptop and really really dont want to have to lose it.
The system was updated to SP3 and the disc is SP2, would this cause any problems?
TIA
Linear Mode
