  System File Checker is not a universal solution, but it can help in certain situations.

  You really ned to determine the nature of the error before deciding on solutions.

  Event Viewer reports

  1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

  2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

  3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

  4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Select the Details tab and check the box in front of the XML view. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

  5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

  6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

  7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

  Hi Olivia Lee.

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. has the recovery disk provided by Compaq?

  3. what happens when you try to boot from the recovery disc?

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the recovery disk to repair Windows XP as these recovery discs are very different from the original Windows XP.

  Therefore, you will need to make arrangements for an original CD of Windows XP and later to perform the installation of Windows XP.

  Refer to method 2 in the below Microsoft article on how to repair Windows XP installation.

• Windows system32\config\system file corrupt / missing

  I have Windows XP Home edition on my Sony Vaio. Cannot start Windows because I get a msg saying following file is damaged or missing windows system32\config\system
  Sony support suggested I start mode F8 and select know last good configuration. I tried and got a msg saying that Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged

  Corrupt des/windows system32\config\system missing file? How to fix without losing my data? Support Sony says full recovery of the system, but I'll lose data and sounds very drastic!

  e star,
  For your Windows CD, which would have been provided by the PC manufacturer.  Sometimes they have a partition on the hard disk that contains the recovery software and can be viewed during the start up.  You should check with the manufacturer of PC for more information about the recovery options.  Also if they did not provide a CD sometimes they offer the recovery media for sale.

  The problem here is that something has happened to the ntoskrnl.exe file.  It is difficult to replace just this file because the version that's on a CD may be different for the version that you had on your system.  If replace you it with another that it could potentially cause other problems.

  At this point, you will need to do a repair install or restore clean install\factory.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
