A registry XP file at startup failure error

Had a power outage a few nights ago. After the return of power, computer with XP Pro would start to start, but after the logo Windows XP, the blue screen appeared with the message:

STOP: C00000218 {registry file failure}

The thehive of load registrycannot

Root\System32\config\SOFTWARE or itslog or its replacement system

Cannot start with options (safe mode, etc.).

Cannot restore to any previous restore point.

BUT... If the blue screen memory dump is allowed to continue, the machine will restart and will start.

Mystifying to me. Someone has any idea how to get back to normal? The sequence of double-boot is a pain... and of course * something * wrong.

TIA

Hello

If you have a Windows XP CD, you can boot the PC with the CD.

Once started press 'r' to enter the recovery console. Follow the instructions until you have the command prompt.

(Here's a nice document with screenshots to help you: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/rconsole.htm)

Type in

CHKDSK c: /r

and press ENTER. This will check your hard drive for errors. Once done restart the PC.

If the PC gives the same error then follow this document to recover the registry from a backup.

    When I start my computer. I get an error message tiltled WINDOWS STARTUP MANAGER. Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem, it says to insert the file installation disc: \windows\system32\drivers\NIS\1008000.029\SYMEFA. SYS status: 0xc0000098 original title: System failure

    Hello

    SYMEFA. SYS says Norton (Symantec). So, I would like to confirm if Norton (Symantec) is running on the system. The problem may be caused by the incompatible Norton (Symantec) with the hardware or software you installed recently.
     
    In this case, because the system is unable to start up normally, I suggest that we first of all a Safe Mode to uninstall Norton (Symantec) to check the issue.

  • Windows XP does not start error message "Windows Boot failure. Press 'OK' to repair the startup failure.

    I think that the difficulty with myantispyware site is to know what type of malicious software that you have?

    I have this same problem on a friends laptop - I started out in a PE environment and run a couple of different recovery CD of AV companies but the problem remains. I also tried to go back to using System Restore, but it did not work either.

    On a work computer download SuperAntiSpyware Portable version from the link below save it on a USB key. Take the USB to the infected computer. Start the computer in safe mode with command prompt. Press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC. The Task Manager opens. Click file > new task > type explorer.exe > press Ok. Navigate to the flash drive > right click > Explorer. Locate the SuperAntiSpyware file > right click and choose Run as administrator.

    I met recently a few new malwares of thugs that are loaded in safe mode effectively preventing you to download or install anything. For reasons unknown to me from the computer in safe mode with command prompt and then run taskmgr explorer.exe prevents malware to load. This method has worked several times for me this week only.

  • While the research on how to correct an error in the observer of events, W32 tried merging a .reg file and got an error message saying could not access the registry, why?

    http://www.techexams.NET/blogs/jdmurray/synchronizing-the-time-on-Windows-XP-and-Vista-with-the-Internet/

    Hello, I'm under win xp pro svc pk 3, ie 8, x32bit.

    I received an error in the Event Viewer system for time synchronization W32. Help box said not to worry if it's a computer for the home user, but I'm tired of doing all the time, every day, so I tried to find a way to get rid of it. On bing, I found the above Web site and tried to merge the nist servers in my registry but I kept getting msg. :

    Impossible to import c:\doc and set\adm\dsktop\timeservers.reg: the specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files in the registry editor.

    the first msg not acceding, and I guess it was because I had the registry open at the same time. Anyway after that I couldn't import, just add the items in the registry manually.

    My question is, really, was performed correctly by the copy of the list of servers of time in the text, paste it into a file and you try to merge?

    Appreciate any assistance with this issue.

    Just for info:

    If you see a message similar to the following:

    Impossible to import c:\Documents and Settings\Jose\Desktop\enableit.reg: the specified file is not a registry script.
    You can only import binary registry files in the registry editor.

    That means either that your registry import file is missing the top line (or it's the wrong syntax):

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    or the file you are trying to import is not a valid registry import file.

    Hello

    I don't understand why this is the case, it may be up to Vista, the details in the file properties appear to be correct
    except the encrypted password too short
    SYSTEM_DB_PASSWORD = GGAKFJ
    have you changed it before posting?

    Also you can try to change
    SYSTEM_DB_URL = jdbc:hyperion:sqlserver://neeraj-PC:1433
    to use your ip address just to test, if you change it after you have saved you will need to make sure that you have closed the configuration utility and then restarted, it.

    with in a few days I am facing this problem in my device

    so, what can I do for this problem...

    Please tell me

    Hello

    Do a hard reset first.
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01684768

    The SMART drive test produces a prediction on the risk of hard drive failure, not a real failure.

    A warning to SMART disk error can appear for various reasons such as having been jarred abruptly computer or hard drive, be subject to the higher than usual temperature.

    Perform HP hard drive - wide test of the system BIOS Diagnostics shortly after switching on, tapping F10/F2

    If there are any Smart player or hard failure error you see, Hard Drive is a failure and the solution is to replace the drive.

    It would also be very wise to make sure that you back up all your files etc as soon as possible.

    Thank you

  • Keyboard Predator G3-710 at startup failure

    Hello world

    I had my G3-710 4 months and so far love it until today.

    Today I got keyboard at startup failures upward on my predator keyboard and the keyboard does not light.  I tried all usb slots and it makes no difference.  If I kept Windows, he did the light upwards, but now does not only.  I plugged in a spare room and works on all ports.

    Is there a way I can definitely confirm that this is a failure of the keyboard before going through the trouble to send it back to Acer?

    See you soon

    James

    Connect your predator keyboard to another PC and check if it gives you error too (the BIOS must be set to stop on error of keyboard)

  • ... has been registered. There was an unexpected failure (error code 771)

    Upward until about a week ago Windows Media Center records very well. Suddenly, none of our TV shows will record. He gives us the same error message:... .to was not recorded. There was an unexpected failure (error code 771). I checked our storage and we have plenty of space for recordings since we generally remove them after watching. The computer will not be because of sleep mode that I was on the computer when the bubble of error is displayed. It will record only if I go into the Media Center and hit record on a show that is presented on the airwaves at the time.  It does not freeze during recording, just won't save.

    Hi Adolpha,

    1. don't you make changes before the show?

    Try the following steps to set Windows Media Center Receiver Service local only and check the result.
    a. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.
    b. in the list of services, double-click "Windows Media Center Receiver Service"
    c. change the startup type to automatic, and then click Start.
    d. click the Log on tab, select "Local System account".
    e. click ok to apply the changes and restart the computer.
    f. check if the problem persists.

    See the question "What should I do if Windows Media Center is unable to record a show?" in this article.
