I have a Windows XP and whenever I start it it goes to a Blue Screen that says a lot of Stuff About Hardware not being Installed Properly. It also has a whole bunch of Numbers at the Bottome
(Example) 0ax000000a00000
It says if I need to go to the Desktop to unistall something I should start in and put it in Safe Mode, even when I do that it goes to the same screen.
Anyone know how I can fix it?

That would make sense to have in get Fixed but im only 13 and I don't have that kind of money. Personally if I did have the money I'd do it myself.
Also my XP is 8 yrs Old so I should see about getting it Reinstalled. I'll talk to my Grandpa about it, since he's the Computer Wiz.
Thanks for your Help!

I had this happen to me (where I couldn't even start up in safe mode)… Basically, a piece of software is preventing your computer from booting. I had to take it to get fixed somewhere… They took my hard drive out and saved everything, then reinstalled windows. They said most computers should have windows reinstalled once a year, but that seems extreme to me. It cost like $150.
Stupid blue screens

You're getting the Blue Screen of Doom han? XD That's bad, if you can't enter even in safe mode, you can try repair it with the Win XP installation CD. If that doesn't work you most likely have to format.

This sort of blue screen is normally related to problems with hardware drivers.
Since safe mode boots using only basic drivers, you will normally be able to boot to it, in order to solve the problems.
If you are unable to boot to safe mode, it means your WinXP installation is seriously corrupted [or the hard drive is starting to fail].
As stated by the first answer, the only solution [as far as I know] is to reinstall the operating system. Hope you have backups for anything you want to save. The only way to save your data now, would be to install your hard drive in another computer as a slave drive and make backups of it that way.
You might consider buying a WinXP install disk, since it can be bought online for around $120. If you do that and make periodic backups of your data to a DVD or CDs, you can avoid being in this situation in the future.
