So i seem to be having problems with my windows xp. my computer starts up, and goes to the login in screen, where i type my password and then the fun begins. sometimes it freezes right there. but if i'm lucky, it shows my desktop with my with my anti virus program starting. then if i try to start any programs it freezes. So basically i went into safe mode, where i used msconfig and turned off everything that wasn't a system 32 or windows start up program, but that didn't work. i tried to do a system restore, but it will not restore to ANY past dates. so basically i've been running in safe mode for about 2 days.
1. Will reinstalling windows help me?
2. Will i need my key? and if so is there a way to find out what mine is? (probobly not for anit-pirating reasons right?)
3. I don't know my windows key, so wouldn't i need to buy it again?
4. any suggestions?
