Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <windows root>/system32/ntoskrnl.exe Please re-install a copy of the above file. That is the error it comes up with. It will not even boot up to Windows. There's not really much I can access with Windows not booting.

View 1 Replies View Relatedmy laptop stopped working. After dwld some Excel service pack the pc refused to restart. The message is quite ominous: Stop error c0000218 and the hive affected is system root/system32/config/default It's impossible to recover the last working config or start in safe mode or do anything. It keeps looping back to the blue screen with the stop error. The pc does not recognize the hard drive, it does not have a recovery cd.

Please re-install a copy of the above file.My problem is that I do not have a CD to reinstall anything with. It did not come with my laptop. Instead, I was supposed to create my own and didn't realize this until it was too late. I have a Compaq Presario V6000 w/WIN XP Home Edition and I'm wondering if it's possible to boot up manually via DOS with specific commands.

I have been having trouble with a potential virus ever since I visited a google link where instead of a page loading IE crashed. Spybots teatime gave me a bunch of popups about changed entries which I was forced to accept. Since then I've had adspyware reappear over and over. Ad-aware detected it and removed it, but clearly not the underlying problem. System been running slow. I was in a game where I shut down a bunch of background programs including avg antivirus,teatime & zonealarm to free up resources. When I shut down teatime it gave me a bunch of messages about blocked changes. These set of popups had to be forceably closed. Then my system was running at a crawl. So I exited the game and restarted my PC. Now after the XP loading screen I get a black screen with no hdd light/activity. No save mode variation works either.(or previous working configeration etc) Fortunately I had win98 duel booted for older games. If a virus has caused this problem, its undetectable by many a antivirus program. Maybe some rootkit thing? What do I do? Hijackthis only checks the OS it runs under and I can only run win98. BTW, can't reinstall XP because I lost the CD. Assuming what ever rootkit virus wouldnt still be there to prevent loading anyways.

View 1 Replies View RelatedApologies for not scrolling through reams of searches but I'm struggling to get to grips with my 'new' XP computer. Sadly, my much loved '98 computer bit the dust on 14th March (as the result of something I allowed a security program to do), and I was unable to revive it.Now I am back online and having to d/l and reinstall all the programs I had on the old computer I find I have things spread over three User Accounts!! I have been looking through the Help files but I thought someone might know of a useful online 'idiots guide' which could get me off to a less confusing start?

Here's my HJT Log:
Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2
Scan saved at 10:28:33 AM, on 4/18/2008
Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)

I followed Norton and the one thing I can't fix is the wininet.DLL. It runs in safe mode and will not delete. How do I get this thing out? I fixed the registry(Norton instructions) and cleaned everything else. When windows XP Pro starts, I get a message that "sysinit32z.exe cannot be found. Should I put down the hijackthis log in here too?
View 3 Replies View Relatedwhile running a scan with ad-aware it seemed to trigger an alert from norton antivirus(i know) that a virus had been detected, the ad-aware scan came up clean as did a spybot scan but im still left with the virus which is a trojan horse called c:/windows/system32/test3adll, now im not exactly sure what the best course of action should be, would i be right in entering the file details in the search bar of the start menu, making a floppy of the file just in case its needed for some other purpose, switching off system restore while i delete it and immediately switching system restore back on, any advice/help in dealing with this problem will be much appreciated

View 17 Replies View Relatedwhile logged into Windows, the IDE cable that is connected to my HD went bad. I double checked this by replacing the cable and seeing if the BIOS could see it, which it could. When I tried to log back into Windows however I got this message. Code: Windows could not start becuase the following file is missing or corrupt:WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEMYou can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the orginal Setup CD-ROM.Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.I'm not sure how this works.

Two times now, at a seemingly random times (both times round about 11:00AM), all of a sudden, loads (and I mean tens of thousands) of TMP files, looking like 0fb149fbcb12b2799cfd1c55fc08b4e9.TMP are pumped into my system32 folder. In a matter of 15 or 20 minutes, this may generated as much as 5GB of used diskspace. Some are 0K, some are 91K, but other than those tow, sizes seem to be constant.
