So... my windows is busted. If I new where to get all the drivers for this machine and new where my Vista CD was I'd reinstall, but I don't so I can't. I was hoping you could help me prolong the life of this install.
For the most part windows doesn't even finish starting up. I don't remember where it would crash because I've had Kubuntu on my machine as well and have been using it for the last month. I decided to try windows out today and I managed to get into it. After clicking my login icon it took about 90 seconds to get to where I could type in the password. Then rebooted after I typed the password in. It did the same thing again, but actually let me in after I typed the password.
Now almost everything I do I get the error message
Entry point not found
The procedure entry point ReinitializeCriticalSection could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
And most of my network related programs don't work. As in the Network and Sharing Center will open, but it takes a while. When it does open, I can't click on anything. I can only close it by right clicking it on the taskbar and closing it and that causes explorer to crash and restart.
