Best thing for you to do is pull the HD and copy all your files off of it. onto another computer. Then, wipe the drive and instal a fresh copy of XP over it.One of your hive files is damaged. Unless you backed them up - you didn't - it requires a reinstall. |

That's what I do every time someone brings me there fucked up computer with viruses. Only remove documents on request.
I would rather give them a fresh computer than spend 2 hours finding the ------- problem and another 2 fixing. Reinstalling only takes 1 hour with all the programs installed. |
Re: windows XP guru's Chime in
You don't need to reinstall Windows or any sort of that junk.
Pop the hard drive into another computer and take the automatically created registry backup files from the second most recent system restore point (assuming you have it turned on, which it is by default). Copy those files over the corrupted registry. Pop the drive back into the original machine and boot it up. Problem solved. Exact instructions on how to do this are available on Microsoft's website at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 |
Re: windows XP guru's Chime in
If you go in recovery console you can CP the files over. You don't need to take your hardrive out or anything like that.
