So I changed my system locale to Japanese

Rate this Entry
Restarted my computer and now its all fubar. Won't startup and getting a bsod. Everything I've tried didn't work and my computer's system restore points are all gone.

I gotta backup all my shit on the external and then do a clean install.

This sucks. (I'm on the public computer in my house. Not my personal.)

    I don't even know. All I did was just change the locale to japanese, 7 said it needed to restart, it restarted and what shows up is a BSOD with 0x0000007b (0xFFFFF880009A98E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, rest are all 0s).

    I wanted to system restore, but my computer hasn't been making its system restore points I scheduled it do every 5 days.

    It makes me sad yo... ;p;

    Then you did something wrong. There's an option to "set locale for non-unicode programs" use it, it's what I use because I'm too lazy to restart every time I need to play something in japanese.

    You're trying to recover it from the dvd?

    STOP code 0x7b: serious hardware problem with a hard drive controller, a driver issue, or even a boot sector virus.

    Try seeing if the PC will boot into safe mode (hold F8 while booting; select "Safe Mode with Networking" so you have internets.) If not, try the Windows Recovery stuff.

    If that fails, OS Repair install.

    I'm doing my dell reformat and reinstall back to factory settings. Back to the day I bought it.

    Safe mode didn't work, so basically doing the OS Repair install. The important files I needed are backed up in my external now.

    Hope for the best.

    If OS Repair.

    Set boot priority to DVD drive in bios (after F8).

    Damn, that sucks...

    Frankly, I'm not sure if you're running XP or 7 but either way, your OS needs to definitively be repaired.

    Plus, HP over Dell (from what I can remember I always had a HP, if you count Compaq an HP now :P).

    You bought a Dell?

    Oh man, do I feel sorry for you. If you can't fix it yourself, you get to talk to Naseem! (And pay for it, too, if it's out of support warranty.)

    So glad I don't have to talk to Naseem anymore, as it was part of my ex-job...

    He does. But people get mad at Naseem for a reason.

    It's because Naseem sucks at his job.

    Losing disk data happens to everyone at least once. Any more times than that and they didn't learn their lesson. :(

    I did learn mine. This isn't the first time, but I was sure that I made scheduled System Restore Points and at least one backup.

    All my points didn't happen for some odd reason.
