I could not get Windows to start in: normal—last known configuration–safe mode. It has a message that something–power surge,outage–something–caused it to shut down improperly.It would flash the Gateway logo then Windows XP (briefly) and a blue screen in the background that vanishes so fast I can’t see anything written on it. Just went through the same process over and over. No keys seemed to make any difference. I gave up and decided to re-install XP from the CD. I now have a blue screen that says “Windows XP Home Edition Setup” at the top and “Examining 38163 MB disk 0 Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi…” at the bottom.
