Hi,
if you are not being able to fix the problem by using the System Restore tool, you may try to do a repair by using the Windows CD.
insert the CD and then reboot the computer. you will be prompted to either do a repair, install windows and exit.
press R to repair your system.
then follow the instruction wizards.

Hi There
I'm pretty sure we can get you up and running again. The first thing I would do is a SFC from the command line
To do this simply go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

"sfc /scannow" without the quote's this will check your system files and replace them if any are missing etc. You might need your XP disc if your I386 folder is not on your hard drive.

Hopefully that should sort your problems out.

If not you could do a system repair with you XP cd, with a repair you should not loose any of your data but I would back up as a precaution.
Hope this Helps Kindest Regards Tony B.

Hi There sfc/scannow does not work if you typed it in like that. There is a space between the sfc and the backslash.

Your typing was sfc/scannow

Correct typeing as was shown in my previous message was "sfc /scannow" without the quotes.

Try that and let me know how you get on.

Hi There SFC /scannow should of put thing right, but seen as it didn't you have two options.

You say you deleted this in the control panel but this can be a technique employed by some malware
that wants to make it more difficult for you to clean up your PC.

Anyway with that in mind as I said you have two choices edit the Registry which I pobably don't think you will want to do that

Or you can do a system repair as on one of the previous messeges advised.

This should repair you system without destroying any of your files etc but I would back them up first just in case.
You will need the COA serial no of your windows instalation.

When doing this make sure when windows asks if you want to repair windows by using the recovery console you decline and use the other option.

Windows will then look for installed versions of windows when it has found it, it will ask you if you want to repair windows or do a fresh install.
You will want the Repair. If by chance it does not find your windows installation if you go any further it will install a fresh copy onto your system.
Hope This Helps you Good Luck

Hi There

If you ended up at a command line then you probably did not follow my instructions corectly. You might of gone into the Recovery Console which I said not to I have retyped the instructions hopfully making them a little clearer.
Lets try again as if you are a novice the registry is not the place for you.

1. Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the
boot order in the system BIOS so the PC boots from your CD. Check your system documentation
for steps to access the BIOS and change the boot order.

2. When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the three
options below This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft
Windows XP to run on your computer: the one I have highlighted in bold is the one you want

To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

3. Once you have pressed enter Windows will start the setup
do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the
Recovery Console, press R", (you do not want to load Recovery
Console). I repeat, do not choose "To repair a Windows XP
installation using the Recovery Console, press R".
4.When the License Agreement comes up Accept it by pressing F8 and Windows will search for existing Windows installations.
5. Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list "on most computers there is only one" and
press R to start the repair. If Repair is not one of the options
then if you continue it will install a fresh copy onto your PC
6. Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot.
Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears.
Setup will continue as if it were doing a clean install, but your
applications and settings will remain intact. You will need you COA or should I say your install serial no. which should be stuck to you PC.

Hope this Helps Regards Tony B.

Use add/remove programs in the control panel and rollback from IE8 to 7 or earlier. This should restore your Internet options. Then run windows updates and upgrade your browser again. I don't think sfc /scannow will work. At least i know it doesn't when viruses are the cause. There's registry keys that need to be tweaked and this is a good work around.
