Bruce,
I don't have a real solution, just thoughts. I've had strange stuff with my daughter's almost 4 year old hp laptop, also bad battery. I push the power on button, I get a beep, screen flash, shut down. Tried a few different hp chargers, for some reason my wife's hp charger seems to charge it for the 10 minutes the battery will hold, only if I remove the battery first and reinsert it.
Will the laptop run off the charger with the battery removed? Do you have another charger you can try? I'm not sure, maybe the battery is shorting out somehow and preventing the laptop from running. I can't account for your file date issues unless your hard drive is going belly up. If you have an external drive case, you could try to read it from another computer to see if the data is still good, or run a 'smart' scan on the drive also while attached to another computer. You can probably pick one up for under $15, try meritline.com, newegg.com, etc. or search on external enclosures, hard drive cases.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Alternating errror messages at startup-all fatal
Windows XP Professional. Compaq Evo N1000C laptop.
First off, the battery on this is dead, dead, dead. Don't think that is related but just in case it is . . .
I have been able to get the computer to boot up a couple times today, but many multiple times, not. When I try, the sequence is
generally:
Compaq screen
a quick progress bar at bottom of the screen Windows screen (fan kicks in) Dark gray screen Black screen Blue screen (blank) (Sometimes it cycles back to Compaq screen, otherwise) Desktop (lower fan speed) Screen goes blank/fan kicks off
I have received different error messages at this point:
Not enough virtual memory or paging file quota is available to complete the specificed application.The application failed to initialize properly (???????) ???????????????Isace.exe. Operation failed. The requested operation was unsuccessful. (You think? [That was my comment, not the error message])Isaase.exe ???????????????????
I was not always able to catch the whole message because it would slip away so I transcribed as best I could.
I did just get it started in safe mode but don't know if that was just because I got lucky this time. I could provide an error log if someone can point me in the right direction, although that could be a challenge, too. I am in Computer Management/Event Viewer/Application right now but I have errors dated everywhere from 1969 to 2093. (I told you my battery is dead.)
Disk is about 80% full so I still have hard drive space. Where do I start?
