Panarchy Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 HelloMy brother has a TOSHIBA Tecra M4 Tablet PC.He has Windows XP Tablet PC Edition installed.Here are some screenshots from his computer;http://i40.tinypic.com/dha6bo.jpghttp://i43.tinypic.com/1y8oip.jpghttp://i40.tinypic.com/29pqdg8.jpgI've tried various methods to try and fix the aforementioned problems. I've tried 'svn /scannow', tried CCleaner, tried Safe Mode & tried uninstalling then installing the latest GFX drivers, (including messing around with the .ini, then reverted back to one compatible with his GFX card), yet I still haven't been able to resolve this issue.It used to work, just happened all of the sudden for him one day. BTW: He doesn't install software, driver etc.Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?Thanks in advance,PanarchyPS: If you'd like more screenshots, just ask.BTW: I gave links to the screenshots, instead of using "img" tags. Just seemed to take up to much space having them in "img" tags, however if you'd like me to include them, again, just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panarchy Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well, any ideas on how I can fix the problem?Thanks in advance,Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Is there no backup or image of the drive? My golden rule in computing is ALWAYS to have an image or copy of anything and everything that would cause concern if I lost it.Assuming this facility is not available:System restore?Repair XP?Re-install?

Panarchy Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Repair XP?You mean from the Installation Disc?I probably will end up having to reinstall, but I'll partition first. And this will only be as a last resort.Is there any other way I can fix the problem?Thanks in advance,Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yes, from the XP disk.Try and persuade your brother to make regular backups - it will save an awful lot of pain and heartache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'd be lucky to convince my brother to allow me to repair his comp.:lol:Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Okay, well I've tried repairing using the Installation Disc & chkdsk /r.Yet images still look corrupted...So I tried different browsers;- Firefox 3 = Crap- Internet Explorer 7 = Crap- Internet Explorer 8 = Crap- Safari = Perfect- Opera = Perfect:0 Pretty strange, eh?Here's another screenshot for your benefit, one of Word 2003;http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2989/72581910.pngAnd yes, I've tried different included themes, I've tried the Energy Blue theme & I've tried the Zune theme. All to no avail.Please recommend another method I can try in order to fix my brothers computer.Thanks in advance,PanarchyPS: If the worst comes to worst, I'll shrink then repartition his current HD setup, then install Windows on the newly created Partition. However, I don't want to have to resort to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
