  When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

  If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

  Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

  Courtesy of JoseIbarra

  You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

  Here's how:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  RC. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  ===============

  as for the other problems:

  did you use Registry cleaners?

  These can damage your system

  You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

  ===============

  Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

• How to uninstall Windows XP Home Edition SP3?

  Specifications:

  Sony VAIO, XP Home Edition SP3 computer - if any other information is needed, please let me know.

  --------

  The main problem is that after the update via Windows Update from SP2 to SP3 has caused the USB ports to stop working. I tried everything that is listed on this Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249, contacting Sony, System Restore (for some reason, I did not define a restore point before installing SP3!), unplug the computer for a few hours (which works for about 10 seconds after putting a flash drive into a USB port, but then the USB port stops working) , research in the folder where the update is supposed to be in (but he's not here), looking in Add/Remove Programs, remove registry, searched files via Google answers, etc., etc.

  Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  You do not use / have you used "Registry cleaners" (e.g., Registry Mechanic;) Registry Booster; CCleaner)?

  The above, if WinXP SP3 is not listed in Add/Remove Programs, the only way you can remove it would be formatting your HARD drive and do a clean install of Windows XP.

• I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8. Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

  I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8.  Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

  The upgrade to Windows 7 is a personal decision.  Chances are that if you can do what you need to do on Windows XP then it is 'useless' to upgrade.  If you plan the upgrade anyway, you should first check to see that your hardware is supported under Windows 7.  To do this, Microsoft has provided a program of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" to run on your current computer.

• How to save with pre-installed Windows XP Home edition SP3 but no install disc?

  I want to save data files on desktop with preinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP3.  I don't have access to an installation disc.   How can I get a?

  You don't need a Windows installation CD in order to backup data files.  What makes you think do you?

  [The light bulb turns]: you're probably trying to install NTBackup.  My advice to you is to forget NTBackup and get a disk imaging or cloning application.  I propose the following actions:

  Acronis True Image Home 
  Paragon backup and recovery home
  Casper 6.0
  Norton Ghost (used to be the standard for imaging applications, but I haven't used recent editions; if you really want to use a Symantec product, read the reviews on Amazon)

  If you really want to use NTBackup (worth what you pay for it), see http://www.ihatedroz.com/windows-backup-utility-without-cd

• Update XP Home Edition SP3 for XP Professional SP2. It's less work to do an upgrade?

  I am running XP Home Edition SP3 and loaded Visual 2005 and find the tutorial that I use for Visual c# 2005 must have XP Professional SP2 (but I don't know SP3 would also work) and I don't want to have to do whold many other changes.  Am I right that installing a version upgrade is the best option?  Any suggestions?  The speed of machine and disk space is fine.

  What Daave said... more

  It is difficult nowadays to find the installation CD of infringement for any version of XP, so before you go to eBay or a similar place to find an XP Pro upgrade CD, really tried your tutorial and it had fail or are you just read the 'minimum requirements' from somewhere?

  If you have not tried to run on your system, I suggest to try this before doing anything else.  If you have failed, what was the specific error, without paraphrasing, that was displayed? There may be a workaround solution that someone here might suggest.

• XP Home Edition, SP3. Active window becomes inactive, no clicks, then becomes active after 5-10 seconds.

  I use XP Home Edition, SP3.  When I'm working in an active window (say, MS Word), the window has become suddenly idle for 5 to 10 seconds and then becomes active again.  Everyone knows about this problem?  I thought it might be a problem of Outlook and run the detect and repair command, but that did not help.

  I had the same problem except that it was on Windows 7.  Well, it would not matter what OS is in my case.

  Symptoms: Everything seemed normal until I opened Outlook 2007 and had messages in my Inbox.  Once the messages have arrived in my Inbox outlook began to lose his accent all ~ 5 seconds. I would try to compose an email and he would lose his orientation (became inactive) for about 3-5 seconds then it would possibly come crazy me backwards.

  Solution: Open the the Task Manager and sorted in addition to the processor.  Open outlook and left he opened in such a way that I would be able to display the Task Manager and Outlook-by-side.  Click outlook so that it had the focus.  With outlook open, I started noticing that whenever he would lose his focus a process called TMAS_OS.exe jump upward.  I searched my computer for the file "TMAS_OS.exe" and found its location in Trend new application called "Titanium".  Apparently, it is associated with a software component plug-in 'purchase of Outlook outlook extension support?' and it seemed to go nuts.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app and now everything is fine.  It drove me crazy and it was the first time that the trend has never made me heartache.

  UPDATE: the issue made ugly reappeared the next day.  Apparently, initial installation, antispam behaves but on reboot antispam titanium going nuts once more.  It may be an incompatibility between the add-in (AntiSpam) TMA of trend microphones for Outlook 2007 running on a Windows7 64-bit operating system?

  For now I have disabled the supplement product TMA Titanium Internet Security 2011 trendmicro until they found a solution.  I'll just have to idetify and deal with any spam myself.

  To turn off the snap TMA:

  1. close Outlook, and then open the main console for Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security
  2. click on the 'Settings' button at the bottom
  3. click on 'Internet & Email orders' on the left
  4. click on 'Spam' on the left
  5 uncheck "Filter unsolicited advertisements and other unwanted e-mail messages" > apply > OK
  6. exit the main Console

  You can check THAT TMA is disabled:
  1. open Outlook
  2 tools > Trust Center > click on Add-ins > on the bottom, make sure that the ' Manage: ' drop-down list is set to "COM Add-ins" and click on the "..." button. "> Search FRO"TMA"must be unchecked

• I get a "ACCESS DENIED" pop up when I save my files.

  This is a Web site, I get a "ACCESS DENIED" pop up when I save my files. TI worked for weeks and never seen that before. I can remove it from the list of managed sites and add it back to start recording again, but it's just a matter of time before it starts to appear again.

  I tried to find something in preferences and nothing is done, I can't find a solution.

  

  So I found the root of the problem.

  1. I use two different computers at the same time to work on my Web sites.

  2. I had dreamweaver opens on a doing the actual work on the root folders open on the other (I opened my Web pages by using a browser on this computer using dreamweaver on the other).

  3. apparently, when I have the root folder open on one computer and use the folder root in Dreamweaver on the other, the firewall or software itself denies access.

  4. when I close the folder root on computers, Dreamweaver allows me to do everything in one more time.

  Weird, but the problem is solved.

• I have deleted accedentaly program file folder IDT (51)

  I have deleted accendentaly folder of the IDT program file (51). There are two program files folders, IDT and IDT (51). I have deleted accendentaly IDT (51). My sound still works, but I don't know if something happened to my IDT audio. Can someone please tell me what file folder is IDT (51) and if it will affect my quality of sound, thank you for your time, lnachtigal.

  One more thing, I also tried to restore my computer to an earlier time using microsoft system restore, but it didn't restore this file.

  Hello lnachtigal,

  The Program Files folder contains the files required to run programs on your computer. IDT file would ideally have the required files to run the audio program on your computer. If the sound still works on your computer after you remove the folder means that pilots are still intact on your computer.

  I suggest you reinstall the Audio drivers on your computer using the motherboard CD that received you when you bought the computer. Reinstall the drivers would re-create the files that have been deleted.

  Thank you

• Can not install or save the file to the Program Files folder

  Just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit computer.  When downloading from internet programs or the installation of the CD, it won't let me save in either the Program Files folder.  (I like to keep things organized and in one place, so I would like to save all my programs it).   When I try to register there, an error message appears and says "you don't have permission to save in this location.  Contact the administrator to back up to this location.  You want to save in the case of Cheryl instead? »

  I am the only user on the laptop and, therefore, the administrator.   It upset me enough that there are already files Program Files (2).  Not being not able to save the rest of my programs it makes me crazy.  Help, please!

  Well first off your laptop will be either using win7 64 bit or win7 32 bit, it cannot use both, and since you're talking about 2 files Program Files then this would indicate the 64-bit version of victory

  If its 64-bit version of victory, the 32-bit programs install in the Program files (x 86) and 64-bit programs installed in the Program Files folder.

  Trying to force programs to be installed in the wrong folder will save issues, and may result in this program does not work.

  So no, you cannot install to a specific folder in Program Files

• Access denied message to scan and a program after running disk check

  Original title: chkdisk found bad sectors on my hard drive and seemed to move them, but now I have deinied for my scanner and a program so far. How can I fix it

  I cnt day Quicken or use my scanner. I get "access denied".

  Hi rosiemate,

  To check if the following is useful.

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Disable Zone Alarm temporarily and see if you still have access denied message. If there is no error, you may need to look in the settings of the program.

  Note:  Check that you activate your anti-virus protection on the computer back after you complete these steps. It is not recommended to disable these settings on the computer. It's just to solve the problem.

  Step 2: As you can see the files unusable for Quicken, you can follow this article to check the issue.

  Alternatively, you can consult this article.

  It may also be a possibility of a corrupted user account.

  Method 2:

  Step 1: Create a new user profile to test the issue. See the "create a new user profile on the computer working group" section of this article.

  Step 2: If the problem does not occur, follow the "copy files to the new user profile" in this article.

  I hope this helps.
