I have Windows xp sp2 with an AMD based computer. The model is a Compaq presario SR1200NX. I visited this website http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesp...ng-xp-sp3.aspx and ran the tool to confirm that i had one, and i do. Now i want to run the tool and disable whatever it wants me to disable and install SP3, but ive had a past problem where i replaced the system file user32.dll and it led to a repeating reboot. i fixed it with some tool on the computer when you boot called the recovery console and i got the file back. When i got the computer to boot it looked like this http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3894/pictuer.png (notice everything is themed except for the taskbar i have no idea why the hell thats happening) i made a few changes so i could use custom themes, and theres also a few user32.dll files scattered in the Windows folder but with different names ( i did that when using the recovery console).
When i start up my computer and log into windows 2000 pro. before the desktop even has a chance to load up this error message pops up ENTRY POINT NOT FOUND>>"procedure entry point ?__U@YAPAXI@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll" also at various times an error message for "Javaur32.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows, you will need to restart the program" will pop up. the worst part about this whole problem is that when i try to open any of the folders on my desktop an error message "explorer.exe has generated errors and will be cloased by windows, you will need to restart the program" will pop up and my desktop will go blank for a few seconds then come back, basically the only program i can run is Aol on my laptop right now.
Every time i try to run this application (red alert 3) i receive this error message...

I have read through this post, and various others on different sites, and i have had no luck fixing the problem. http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...l-probelm.html
An employee of mine noted that Symantec Anti-Virus quarintined some type of virus. After this he ran Spybot Search & Destroy which also found and quarintined something. Unfortunately, these are the only details he could provide. After running Spybot he restarted his computer and received the blue screen of death. STOP:c0000135 {unable to locate component} Application failed to start b/c user32.dll not found.

I have been trying to fix an issue with a friends computer. Problem is I'm not very computer savvy :S So that's where you all come in :P I do have some knowledge of computer's and usually catch on pretty quickly. Basically I have been noticing my friends comp has become increasingly slow over the last week I have scanned with AVG and found a change in the following:
I have tried searching for the shell32.dll and found it only to be in the C:/windows/system32 folder as someone recommended in another post I had read on here..Those are the only items showing in a complete scan of the system so I have no idea what is causing this..Also she has been noticing an increased amount of pop ups even when explorer is not running? I believe they are CID or CDI pop ups.
I am getting this error more and more frequently with setup programs, as well as a handful of other programs that I used to be able to run with no problem. The problem is preventing the programs from running. Here is the error dialog I receive every time;

I had had 2 operating system on 2 hard drives (XP and Vista) I took vista off and replaced it with media center. I could boot both xp and media center but the vista boot screen always shows up and would have to go into "ealier versions of windows" and choose my OS from there. I read somewhere to get rid of the vista boot screen I should delete "bootmgr" file and "boot" folder from the root of C: I did this and now nothing works. It tries to boot into vista boot screen but it says files are missing and resets
When i booted up my pc to put some coursework on a usb stick, it failed to boot to xp. It went to the "xp was not shutdown properly,boot to safe mode, or last known working settings screen, ETC". None of the options work, i have tried all of them, safe mode and last known working settings included. When i select one of the options, the hardrive spins up, and then my gfx card bios info and mobo splash screen come on. Well, i think it might be because i ran a 'virus remover' for the game gmod, this was the first time the computer had been booted since i ran it.
I have a laptop (IBM Thinkvantage Thinkpad) and when i boot it does the following:Shows motherboard graphic Goes to "Starting windows." with a loading bar under it.Stops and says "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:WINNTSYSTEM32CONFIG SYSTEMced" Now i know that that means the hive file is too big and i know how to fix it But I don't have a Win2k boot disk and i don't have any floppy drives installed I had an idea to try and do a network boot through the BIOS setup which it does allow but i don't really have any server programs to "host" a network boot with my Windows XP desktop.
I suspect we did not allow the write operation to finish but why this should affect boot up is beyond me.WE were copying a Folder containing word docs and gif files using right click/Send to/CD Drive. The files were copied ready for burning in the usual way and the burned to the CD.Being anxious to check the copy my partner clicked on the ready to burn icon instead of exiting and looking at the drive and the system froze. the only way was to power down and now it will not boot.It hangs on the windows logo screen (with the blue horizontal scrolling bar) and eventually the screen goes blank.I booted to safe mode and the screen hung at the end of the files loading, at least I thought it hung but in fact i had not waited long enough because on the second attempt it booted to safe mode after 4 minutes.Device manager shows no problems so rebooted as normal. Got the usual windows has encountered a problem screen and selected safe mode again. This time it took 25 minutes to boot.
My pc at home has been out of business for a few weeks now because it will not boot into XP (I think a virus). I have a parallel installation of Win 98 which will boot but I can not see the other C: or F: drive where I have XP installed, in My Computer, and where all my photos etc are saved (stupidly). All it shows is the 2gb in which it rests. is there a way to access the files on XP, which I assume are on a different partition from Win 98, through 98.Then I could reformat the hdd and reinstall XP (ps I don't have the XP disc now so cannot get into Recovery)
My Dell Dimension 8400 suddenly won't boot up, and Dell told me I would have to reinstall the OS (XP Media Center Edition). I would rather try to repair the boot files first in order to save all of my apps, drivers and files. But before trying this, I would like to move my SATA HDD to another PC and make it a slave so that I can backup my files to an external HD. Is this a complex task? Dell also told me that all of my OE apps are stored on a partition in my HDD, so a reinstall will put me back to the way my PC was when I first got it, but I would then have to try to find all the drivers for everything I have since installed.
I have purchased a new computer to replace my old one(both are running Windows XP Home) and want to know if Windows XP has a way to transfer all of my files and folders directly to the new PC and also I need to remove everything from my old computer except for the Windows XP Operating system (don't want to leave any personal information in the system) before I either give this to a relative to use or donate it.
I had tried to run a friends HD as a slave drive with mine on my other machine earlier. I got it up and running & it repaired the friends drive and I was able to get some files off he wanted. After I turned it off & took his out I got an error message that some files are missing in windowssystem32configsystem on my computer that I was using with his HD. The message goes on to say to boot with the windows xp disk and try a system repair. Well, that failed also. I took it out and brought it up here and put it on with this one as the slave drive and I got into it. Is there a way I can repair those files with it running as a slave drive on this one, or do I have to just re-install windows again.
Got a question conserning the boot files on my windows XP Pro,Raid setup.There are no boot files on the C: of my raid o setup.I just created this setup , I have 2 80 gig drives and partitioned them to C: & D: ,The boot files apear on my D: ,(Raid storage drive).Is this normal ? Why does windows put the boot files on D:, does this always happen in a raid setup?

I have one laptop that has been corrupted and will no longer boot. I have since removed the HD and place it in an USB enclosure. I have connected it to another Laptop running xp and have no problem viewing the contents of the drive.
At first I was unable to access the administrators documents, but after booting in safe mode, I changed ownership of the entire drive. At this point I am able to access every folder though I can not open any of the files.
I had a problem on booting which is caused by a virus which had corrupted some of the system files. All my efforts to get the system restore had failed. How do I get into the system to go to system restore points. All my efforts to choose all the alternatives in the screen such as safe boot, last known good configuration etc failed. It goes on a cyclic mode again and again coming to the same screen.In such a condition how to go to my system restore point to choose the earlier restore point.
I used a program to delete hidden files from loading up on boot. Two were casino files that I had already deleted. I unchecked the boxes to prevent them from loading up. I then became creative and kept going. Apparently I uncchecked a file to load up win xp pro. Now I get the blank screen that says "invalid boot diskette, insert boot diskette in A:" I do but it is not reading the A: drive. I then tried to get into setup to change the boot sequence to cdrom first but the blank screen asks me to enter a password. I never needed a password to get into setup before. When I type my system passwore and hit enter all that appears is an X, after three times it kicks me back to the insert boot diskette page.
I'm getting a WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM message all of a sudden!DESPERATELY need to copy some personal files somewhere before trying to restore / reformat
I have a brand new Dell Inspirion 1501 Windows XP SP2 laptop.I installed a few programs like Word Perfect 2002, Microsoft Office 2003 and a few other things just for some history. Well today out of nowhere, upon booting up my laptop this morning, this window pops up that says BORLAND SHARED...and I go back and find out that it is in the Program Files/Common folder. I did some searching on the web and it sounds like it could be some kind fo registry thing?? Thought the solutions some described seemed too complicated for me.
I am using Windows XP Home Edition. When booting up, Windows goes directely to loading files and takes at least 20 minutes before the sign in screen appears. Do you have a answer to solve this problem?

I have recently recieved a new computer, and I need to transfer the files of off my old computer. I know windows XP has a file transfer wizzard, but I don't have the serial cable it needs. Is it possible to transfer files from another computer using a USB cable, because I do have one of those. Any help on how I can move my old files will be appreciated.I am also wanting to move a program from my old computer. Having bought my old computer second hand, it came installed with adobe photoshop. I really need photoshop on my new computer, because I deal with computer graphics frequently.
I will be receiving, shortly, a new Windows XP computer. I am currently using Windows XP SP2 on my old computer. How do I transfer files and settings from old to new? I realize that most applications will need to be re-installed from scratch but what abput their data, etc?
I want to set a password for the Guest account on my XP Home Edition computer but one of the instructions state not to do so if the Guest account has any encrypted files. However, I don't know how to find that out out. Can someone tell me how to do so?
I just need a clarification. Are there any temporary files on a computer that need to be kept. I remember doing research on the topic many years ago and I could have swore there are some applications that actually require a tmp file (most likely created by itself) to function. I'm just wondering because a TS guy told me that it was quite alright to issue the following command from a command prompt.
