I'm going to smash this laptop with a motherfucking hammer.

Does anyone have an XP disk that I can borrow?

I'm just going to reformat it. Blank slate. I've had enough.

Even though I found the problem (stop c000021a, so it's my logon screen), I don't have any idea how to fix it.

So I just need to etch-a-sketch my laptop. If you have a disk to lend, please let me know.

(Also, windows 7 hates me. I'd rather avoid it if I can.)

I have one, but you can probably get one nearer to you.

If you told me you wanted a straight up XP disc, I could have hooked you up with that. I thought you wanted a recovery disc.

Anyway, I have one.

Hey, if it boots into safe mode, I'd recommend booting into there and removing your graphics adapter. Usually the only time a desktop system dies at the logon screen is graphics corruption. You could also try doing regedit from safe mode, then go to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run (I think, this is off the top of my head) and rip out everything that starts on boot, starting with the last thing you installed.
