How can I fix a corrupt MFT?
I am running XP Pro SP3, and I recently started having problems starting. My computer was hung up on the start of Windows XP at startup screen. After a few days of trying different methods to remedy, I could so he can start by unplugging my secondary SATA drive normally. Since then, I realized that it is a corruption of the MFT on this drive. Is it possible to fix this?
I replaced the drive. that solved the problem. I found that, except for pay professionals to do data recovery, it is impossible to fix a corrupted hard drive, so I just use my warranty to get a new drive.

How can I fix to "corrupt the local profile" on my computer
Original title: user environment
Switching on my laptop I get message... corrupt local profile... cannot find the local profile... used temp.profile and all changes when closing down will be lost.
Then if I try to download say Barclays and then save it in the Favorites folder, then disappears from the Favorites when that I log out, then I'll have to find when opening upward once again! How can I get rid of this bug? I tried to return to an earlier date, but laptop does not accept this.
This is a typical symptom of a corrupt user profile. It happens from time to time. When Windows detects a damaged at the time of the logon user profile, he tends to switch to a temporary user profile that has all the privileges of the user of origin, but otherwise, it looks like you connected for the first time as a new user. Note that this is a * temporary * profile. All the files that you save on the desktop or in the "My Documents" folder will not survive a logoff. It is not too difficult to recover from. Tip: If you use "System Restore" restore to an earlier date, start mode (repeatedly tap the F8 key at startup key) safe and run the system, safe mode restore. Choose one of the following articles:
"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473/en-us >
"Windows XP problems if your profile is corrupted"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326688/en-us >
"How to copy data from a damaged to a new user profile in Windows XP user profile"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151/en-us >
Corruption of user profiles is almost always accompanied, if not caused, the Corruption of system files. So after recovery, it's a good idea to perform a check disk (chkdsk) complete with the "/ R" or "repair/recover' option. Note that the audit will take place at the next restart before Windows load fully, can take more than a few hours and can not be interrupted. Sometimes the drive verification procedure can fix this problem with no further action necessary.

How can I fix my corrupted menus in Dreamweaver CS4?
I installed Adobe Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4 Beta. That's what I did, and I checked that they were installed OK and worked and they did. Then I went in Dreamweaver and the menu items are corrupt. For example, instead of "File" in the menu bar, I "menus/DWMenuFile" instead of "Edit", it's "menus/DWMenuFile", etc.. They are all there and visible (thanks for my display full-screen), they all work, but it is irritating at best. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and have not had a problem with DW when it was installed in October 2008.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
The joys of beta, I guess. Most likely, it is a conflict of language version. New tools probably were looking for en_US encodings by default when they tried to update some components and add extensions to DW and because that which has gone wrong, they now use the generic placeholders. This should be possible you fix by reinstalling DW. Also simply try to trash your prefs of DW. The program should recreate with regard to your current system settings...

One of my computers has a virus and I'm ready to reformat the drive if I know what to do when I try to go to the command prompt, I get the cmd.exe message is corrupt.
You could try to copy the cmd.exe file from another XP computer to yours. It is usually located in the C:\Windows\System32 directory. (Save your current file first, however) Otherwise, try to start the command-line like this:
Start-> Run-> "command."
Note that this should appear "command.com" which is different from the "cmd.exe" (but looks like).If you try to reformat the drive to reinstall Windows, simply boot from your Windows XP installation disc and launch the installation. A reformat is a normal step in a new installation of Windows.

How can I fix a corrupted Hosts file?
McAfee technical support took control of my keyboard/mouse to download a update of their total Protection software. The update process has not completed because the download seems to hang due to some sort of network problem. In analyzing the problem, the person tech support tried to make changes and updated Hosts file, in vain. They then told me to contact Microsoft and tell them that the Hosts file has been altered, preventing them to update.
Looks like a bunch of BS from McAfee. My real suggestion is to drop it and go with a decent product - perhaps eSet or Avira or something in that sense.

You can delete the Recycle Bin and Windows it will recreate when you restart the system. The command prompt, run the following command:
RD /s /q c:\recycler
If you have more than one drive, you will need to you issue the command for each drive, changing the c: with the appropriate drive letter.
If this does not work, go here: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
