Any install disc will work. You can also download an OEM version of Windows. It is uncuszomized for any computer, so the install is universal.

However if you can't even boot into safe mode, there is a chance you will loose your data. Not if you connect the hard drive to another computer. As a last resort, you could by some ribbon cable and connect the hard drive to your brothers computer to recover your data, and get the hardware fixed.

Forgive me if I'm dead wrong. But if she puts her HD into another PC, then if its a virus, wouldn't the other PC have a risk of being subjected to the virus?

Though I'd guess a worm over a virus.

Welcome to the world of Microsuck. If I had to guess, I'd say you have a corrupted system file, making recovery without reinstallation impossible. If safe mode doesn't work, there isn't much you can do besides recover what you can, and reinstall Windows.

If you downloaded it from the Sims official website, I doubt that was the cause.

If you downloaded it from the Sims official website, I doubt that was the cause. FP Who does that? If I remember back to my Sims days when I was like 11, Simslice is where its at. And thats a rather shady site. I suggest the first thing you do when you get your system running is to uninstall all that crap. Pages: 1 2  Next
