Can i put the disk bk into fix it bearing in mind i don't want to format my computer as have to many things on it another computer of ours had the same problem and when we restarted it it formatted itself and had to go in for repair.
Lately when I have several programs running, I have to go to Windows Task Manager in order to switch between them, because only one thing (the current program) has a space on the task bar showing it is open. I used to have a whole bunch of windows down there and could click on them to maximize. Don't know why this happened or how to fix it.
Had diffs yesterday with computer running at snail speed > did ad-aware/norton scans to clean up > now when I minimize any open window, the tab/s just disappear/s to the left of the lower taskbar so they can't be opened easily again. Must be an easy fix for this but after hours of research in MS Help + Google + your existing threads, haven't been able to source a solution.It happened once before but I can't recall how I got it going properly again - that's what age does to the memory!! Now when I have a PC prob & manage to solve it, I note the solution for the future!Would greatly appreciate any suggestions to solve this irritating prob.
when I startup my computer it goes through the BIOS screen, then before the Splash screen I get left with three options. "Which windows would you like to boot" (something of that nature)Windows XP Professional 1.Windows XP Professional.The first one is the right one. How do I remove the other two? It also says "Press F8 for advanced options"
Windows XP a flashing yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it,
appears in the System Tray. Messages pop up such as "System Notice: Internet Service Provider (ISP) might be tracking your private information! Click the icon the check you ISP for reliability".
After having logged on (I've Broadband so am automatically connected to the Internet) this irksome triangle with an exclamation mark inside appears on my taskbar. Whne I click on it I get a list of urls advertising in the main porn and dating sites.I'm sure it has something to do with viruses, hijackers, etc but I have tried everything to get rid of it but to no avail
This yellow triangle error keeps popping out on my tray,and I try to right click or left click it,it disappears,then 5 minutes later it reappears again for 30 seconds,then it disappears.
I have finally decided that my problems with uninstalling are related to the Windows Installer being corrupt.I reregistered this in Safe Mode but it didn't fix the problem. So I ran SFC but when it asked to insert the CD which I did, I got a message "The CD you have provided is the wrong CD. Please insert the Windows XP Professional Cd-ROM..."I only have the one CD - it came with the computer and is " Windows XP Professional includes Service Pack 2."
It worked fine for a few days, then I got this blue screen that said I have a system error and that I am missing a file or it is corrupt c:windowssystem32configsystem.Now, this was fine because I thought I knew the answer to this problem, which is incidentally the answer to another recent problem posted on this board, it can be found here:URL...I performed the operation, and again, it was all well and good for a few days.Then I got the same problem again. I used the same solution to make a fix.Then it happened again.So, my question is what's the problem? Do I have a hardware problem? I even used two different WinXp install discs to solve this problem on different occasions since I only needed the recovery console and I thought that the original disc might have become damaged or something.
On some websites I get an error message which shows up in the status bar.it is an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle. When this happens, I can't access the website. I have tried several suggestions from Microsoft, but I just seem to trade one problem for another. This first showed up when I "upgraded" to SP2.
I have a one year old Sony Vaio with Windows XP. Just recently, I updated my Norton software. Still, every thirty seconds or so, I get a yellow triangle on the taskbar with a message "Caution! Spyware attack detected" or "Danger: antispyware protection failure". My browser is immediately then re-directed to either a site labeled "about:blank" or "antispyware.net" where I am asked to purchase new software. Any ideas how to turn this off?
My pc won't boot into windows...i get this error. I don't have a copy of XP to try and repair because i bought my PC from futureshop with XP pre-loaded..... anyway of fixing this without having a copy of xp?
I have Windows XP in my system and the problem is that after installation of Windows within 24 hours corrupt...how it comes... during working suddenly system restart and afterthat windows unable to boot again...Few days before I found virus in my system FUNNY UST SCANDAL.AVI.EXE so I clean my drives with Antivirus and virus deleted ..may be this because of Virus so I scan my PC with Antivir ...and with Mcafee too but now nothing I found..
I recently go tthe new comp and then ran into some errors when downloading off the internet, Files turn corrupt most of the time on IE or Firefox and other times it might want to work, Downloading the install for Winamp is one which will corrupt every time no matter how I try it, check for virus's, spyware, turn everything else off, turn off the firewall and I've done all that and still haven't gotten anything. I've been told I should try and update my bios but I know that could only cause more problems in certain cases, Even when trying the asus auto update it says that it couldn't uncompress it. One of the classic errors is" NSIS error, The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or virus. It may be possible to skip this check using /NCRC command line switch(Not recommended )". As well as say if any torrents that I get bit comet says it's corrupt and ones that work in the regular bittorrent downloader go at trash speeds, router I was on was set up before this so it should still be good. I hope this is enough information, if more is needed I'd be happy to tell you. I also cleaned the regestry and checked for viruses and malware as well as anything else I could think of.
when I go to shut off the computer I get a box that says "Program not respsonding" It's for the file explorer.exe. I then usually have to hit "End now" and then sometimes when that doesn't work I have to hit "End now" again. I'm asssuming that this has something to do with a corrupt explorer.exe file right
On a w2k-sp4 pc, my booting process starts looping with "Loading your personal parameters" when it reaches "Recording your parameters". That's the point where you hear the jingle which goes on indefinitely. Since it's inside the opening of the User Session, probably that my profile is somewhat corrupt. Safe Mode leads to the same loop. FYI, I can access w2k files through an XP I have on that pc operating in dual boot mode.
But anyways i'm major computer problems. I have a Windows xp Compaq computer and im getting an error that says <Windows root>system32hal.dll. is missing or corrupt.

I jus put together my own system. I bought a P4 511 processor and an ASUS P5P800-MX motherboard and two 512 MB sticks of RAM I'm using my old 40 GB harddrive from my previous computer. I had installed Windows XP Professional with SP2 and it all worked fine. I then turned my computer off for the night and the next day when I started the computer it would not boot into windows it showed the error message "The following Windows file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM". I booted from the windows XP cd and went into the recovery console and used CHKDSK /R and when that finished Windows booted up fine. However everytime i turn the PC off the error occurs again. Any ideas how to fix this problem permanantly instead of jus until the next reboot?
I bought a new hard drive and tried to load XP Home on it, and I keep getting the same error message "Windows System 32 hll.dll is missing or corrupt...." Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of this? It happen when I initally load XP and then have to restart. Cannot go past this message.
i heard some clicks comming from within my comp case, when a click occurs, its like bad lag, everything freezes up for a bit, then goes back to normal.. it started getting pretty bad, so i restarted my PC and then it went to C: CHKDSK thing, it did its thing, and i guess it found some bad clusters, (went to fast for me to read)..
it started the windows account page (where u can log onto each user profile) and a window poped up.. "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.

I am getting the following error and it loops: "file is missing or corrupt windows root system32 hal.dll" When I try and run the windows cd and either wipe or repair the error it tells me that the "the setup did not find hard drive disks" Now I am thinking the hard drive is defective?? Or do I have a virus?
Windows xp crashed, wont even open. I get an error: <windows root> / system32/hal.dll is missing or corrupt. I dont have a xp disk, it did not come with the pc when i bought it. Came with xp already on it.
I restarted my computer after installing an update to my firewall program. I get the "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WindowsSystem32Hal.dll" I tried to do system restore first (F10) and it tried to start windows to start the system restore program I suppose and so of course the same error message came up. After retrying a few times, I tried the other option in system recovery (f10) and it said user data would be preserved but I may need to reinstall programs, so I thought that'd be fine. I let it do it's thing and came back later when it was done and it looked like the first time I started my computer ever where it has that cheesy music and asks you to name your computer, etc. So I'm finally in Windows again (XP Media Edition 2002 SP2) and the first thing I check is my documents folder and all my documents are gone! I checked the properties of the C: drive and it shows that I've used 224GB space, but I can't find my files anywhere. I've looked in all profiles in documents and settings. It seems like the files should be somewhere since the hard drive shows that I have that used space.
while 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. Do I hit 'r' at the blue screen after it loads all the drivers or do let it setup and I will get a chance to choose a repair option. The error only effects Windows. I know for sure because I have a Linux partition that works fine. I have my orgainl Windows XP CD- ROM. Does anyone know the steps to fix this? Windows XP SP2 (Fully upgraded)(CD-ROM is the orginal XP SP1 disk)
