      I already have the files I need, anything else can be downloaded.

      There has to be a way to do it without the CD...I've done it before without the CD (many times) but I need to know how to get around this black screen:

      (I didn't take the image)

      I go to the Recovery Console and then it gives me some commands to enter, but none of them seem to restore my computer.

      That's just a command prompt.

      If you're on Windows XP, just boot into Safe Mode, and it should ask you if you want to restore your computer to a previous date, or if you want to do something else. Run the built-in Windows restore function and restore it to a previous date. After you get that working, I'd recommend running an anti-virus, such as Avira or Avast!

      EDIT: Press F8 and you should be able to see the safe mode option.

      I've tried setting it back to a certain date like 3 times...and it didn't do anything.

      I'll have to try and get my hands on a recovery CD soon.

      Or you can Linux it.

      And I know you want to be a gamer: WINE supports Steam and Valve games, and such.

      As for Windows, if all else fails, TPB. (I didn't say that.)

      Just an obvious reminder to everyone, don't post links to anything illegal, we'd like to keep DreamViews above water, mmkay?

      The Pirate Bay is not illegal. In fact, if you have the serial number/license code for Windows (might be on a sticker somewhere on your PC chassis), even downloading a copy of Windows from a torrent site would not be, strictly speaking, illegal on your part.

      If you want to game, please don't think that Linux plus WINE is an acceptable option. The Steam program itself runs like shit on WINE, and most games lag or run choppily in WINE. Try using Windows 7, it works on XP machines and is free for now.

      Honestly, do you work for Microsoft or something?
