Couldnt figure out how to edit or ammend my first question, so … Computer is a Dell Dimension 4600. Loaded all original Software onto new Hard Drive. Diagnostics says all is ok. Connection Wizard cant find any DRIVERS on computer. otherwise, everything else works fine that I go into. I’ve reloaded software and ran "repairs", and still no luck.
I have repeatedly put in the drivers disc and OS disc and even started over and STILL cannot get it to work. Am really lost here.

My laptop stays in "SAFE MODE", posting an error message similar to: "Drivers32 file missing or corrupt".

While reading a website, I recieved a strange message that " files are being dumped to documents folder." After recieving the message, I noticed that it became progressively harder for the WINDOWS screen to load. Every time I turned on my laptop, the black and white "safe mode" screen would pop up….then countdown from about 30 seconds…..then pop up again, like a revolving door. No matter what I tried, the screen would just keep repeating itself — without so much as even letting me see the password screen. Also, the power supply to the laptop became very erratic.

My question: Is it better to use the original software that came with my laptop and reboot to solve the problem? Or, is there some software that will repair my drivers and get my computer running again–preferably without rebooting?
