Apr 18, 2007Upon a normal reboot tonight, my XP Pro would not reboot. It hung on a screen immediately after the Windows XP scroll, it went to a blue screen with a "Windows XP" on it, where normally I see the WELCOME screen before Windows and the desktop appears. So the stall came at a SECOND Windows XP screen. After researching on the Net and talking to a couple of friends, and failing to get into Windows in Safe Mode (it stalled again at the same place), I started a Windows Repair reinstall.

Jul 6, 2010I have a Dell Dimension with XP. XP is in need of repair. The original XP cd is gone. Dell sent me a replacement but when it is inserted the "cannot continue since the version of XP on your system is newer than the one on the cd" message. I know a new cd can be made that will include the SP3 update with it. But to do this isn't the original cd with the product key required I still have the product key but am having trouble continuing.

Jun 30, 2008I have had some computer problems lately. It happened a day after I installed 2GB RAM (which I have since removed) and after we lost power in the neighborhood for over an hour. Don't know the real cause, but was in an endless loop of loading windows.It never went to the desktop though.So I did a Windows XP REPAIR. I'm not really sure if the computer is running as it should. The "problem" I'm having is the Automatic Updates are not installing.

Oct 19, 2007My XP Home recovery disk will not install or repair anymore (the last few days I did have it up and running - but after trying to install SP2 it's crashing again). So my final chance to get this system back up and running is to try and install a "retail version" XP Pro to a new hard drive.
Can you perform a 'full installation' from a product that is listed as "upgrade" I found what I feel is a good deal on eBay - the blurb states that you can (boot from CD drive) and then when promted just insert your original XP Home or WIN98 disk which sorts out the "key problem". I have listed what this Power Seller says - I have also emailed previous buyers who say it's a great product - legal etc. But these buyers had installed over a working copy of Windows 2000 and XP Home....

Dec 16, 2008I really need some help here. Whatever my wife did, basically her pc running XP would not boot after the Dell logo screen. Using the XP recovery disk she managed to install another copy of XP on drive C. The system only shows 1 drive (C). The newest install is the install that works, but the old non-working installation is where all of her family pics and work files are located. To make matters worse, the original installation had 2 admin users. Herself, and one for the kids; both password protected. The newest install is in "C:Windows1" and of course the old one is just plain "C:Windows". I can see the folder that contains her files and the other folder for my kids, but I can't access them...says "Access denied". Does anybody know how I can get those files and pics out of there and fix this mess? I wouldn't mind having to reinstall the MS Office and stuff like that, but she really needs those files.

Jul 26, 2008Recently I was working on my brothers pc when I encountered some serious explorer.exe problems. After trying various workarounds with no sucess I ended up doing a repair install (was xp prof sp2). It fixed the explorer.exe problems, but now I have an even bigger headache on my hands.I cannot run Windows Update or IE, although I did download SP3 from download.com. I cannot install it though because it says it needs SP1. I tried installing SP1a, but it says it cannot verify update.inf and to turn on my Cryptographic services. When I try to turn that on, services wont open and produces an error message that says "MMC failed to intialize because it was installed incorrectly or because a portion of the registry has become corrupted. Make sure the file Mmcndmgr.dll is registered by running 'regsvr32 %SystemRoot%system32mmcndmgr.dll'. I try that it says that "Loadlibrary failed - the specific procedure could not be found." Oh, and I am constantly getting an error message which says "the procedure entry point SHRegGetValueW could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll".

View 3 Replies View RelatedRepair Install Doesn't See Hard Drive Size Right
Oct 6, 2010My problem in a nutshell. I'm trying to install XP as a repair but it isn't going well. I've done it before and I'm quite familiar with the steps, but this time there is one new wrinkle. Windows tells me it sees two partitions, which it shouldn't. There is only one, but it is comprised of two HDD's in a stripe setup. There is a total of 1.2TB of space between the two of them. The free space is somewhere in the 800-900 GB range before the machine started having problems. Windows keeps saying that there is only 900 MB of free space, which is not enough to install windows. Laughable. There is a ton of free space on those drives, and there is an existing XP installation, albiet one that doesn't work.

Aug 6, 2007I have read lots of inquiries on the web about corrupt installations of Flash Player 9 in both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. I am having that problem too.Running sfc /scannow does not fix the problem.I have removed all traces of the installation but continue to find that the file is corrupt, however,it does allow me to view flash files on the Internet.So here is a screen shot of what is said during the removal of the file in the Download Programs Folder in internet explorer 6.Note: I don't like internet explorer 7, it corrupts my HP scanjet 2300 driver. I also like Internet Explorer 6's larger navigation buttons on the tool bar.Though I am a Power User, this one has me stumped. I am sure the error message in this screen shot will allow the techies.

Failed Installations - Operation Canceled Due To Restrictions
Mar 8, 2008So, my computer was once owned by a corporation, and there are various policies in place that lead to error messages and a lack of access (even though I am an administrator).
1) I can't access the Firewall or Windows Update features
2) Sometimes when I'm trying to install software, I get a message that says "This operation was cancelled due to restrictions in place on your computer. Please contact a network administrator" or something like that.
I have access to regedit (after a bit of work) and have been able to win back some of my privileges. However, I can't seem to find the right restrictions to apply to the above issues. editing policies in gpedit does not do anything! None of the policies take effect. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

After scan disk it restarted and wouldn't load windows, just got stuck on windows loading screen forever, eventually 15+ minutes i pressed reset as there was no disk activity.
