I changed my computer working group at the computer at home and I don't have password now to open xp. Is my death now of computer for good?
That's about all. I bought the computer used off someone and he was placed in the mode of group, had no problem. I went there in computer mode at home after using it for years and now I can't go past the password and I don't know. I do not have a xp disk again the software and I'm just wondering if there is a way for me to never come back, or should I throw it in Lake Michigan.
It seems that if you have fallen into the trap described in the following Microsoft KB article:
"You can not connect after you remove the computer from the domain.
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/317049 >
To make things worse, you have no restore media or you know the login of the user local administrator password. (Not unusual for a computer connected to the domain). You skate on thin ice throughout uses a password cached for years and finally went through. At the risk of denying some lucky fish in Lake Michigan a free condo, there is a way that you should be able to recover if your system restore has been activated before the crash.
First of all, you need to start your machine from a Bootable CD. You can create one of these for free on another computer. You can try using Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or try to use a Windows-based rescue CD as freeware Hirens Boot CD. Whatever way you go, start your computer from this CD. You then use this system to locate a backup copy of your registry on your hard drive. You should find one in the following folder:
C:\System Volume Information\_restore {xxxxxxx...} \RPxxx\snapshot
Where the s "xxx" refers to the random semi. Find the directory "RPxxx" just before your blunder. You will find then five files that constitute the register: in the folder above, they will be called: _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM, _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY, _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE, _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM, _REGISTRY_USER_. BY DEFAULT.
You need to COPY (important: do not MOVE) these five folders for your:
C:\Windows\System32\Config
Directory. After you do this, you will find the corresponding registry files (SAM, SECURITY, SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, by default) in the same Config directory. Just rename these files from the existing registry (for example, by adding ".bak" in their name) and then rename the files _REGISTRY_ for the files that you just rename.
Reboot your machine, you should get back to where you were. If you succeed, you must do two things immediately. First, create a user local administrator privileges, so that you can yourself bail next time and, second, to make a formal "System Restore" to the last restore point before your problem. It also wouldn't hurt to change the password for the user: "Administrator" for something, you will know now.
A more problematic procedure of Microsoft essentially describes the following steps. If you follow the instructions in Microsoft, boot from the CD to start above and repeat the procedure in part 2, step 6, using GUI to move/rename the files instead of the command prompt.
"How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >
... and if all else fails, just install Linux on the machine ;-)...
or you can also check to see if you have a recovery partition, which you can use to reinstall Windows. Find a key, press the first splash screen when you start.
Good luck

On my iMac OSX El Capitan v 10.11.3 when editing of photos and work between them the screen takes over and moves the picture on the next picture before Ive had the chance to edit, I then fold the photo required to try again. This can happen several times and its so frustrating.
Similar thing TI also occurs when you are working on other programs on the mac, but not nearly as much.
Guessing here, but try to disable drag between pages on the tab more than movements in the system preferences > mouse. or a Trackpad. Depending on whether you are using.

My system does not have a recovery partition which is accessible and I don't have the DVD to recover my system. I bought my computer the day Vista came out and wanted the XP but the store would not give me an our sell me an XP cd or dvd. I've was stuck with Vista and was not even given a DVD in case of system failure.
Hello
Normally, the recovery on a system partition is accessible by using a F key at the start of the initial system. For the corresponding key or combination of keys, see the documentation for your system or online from the manufacturer support.
If you need a recovery media, you will need to contact the manufacturer for such. Do not use a retail disk as often, they do not contain the necessary drivers for the owner builder systems.

BOOTMGR is compressed and I don't have the cd
My bootmgr is compressed and I don't have the cd
As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system. Making effective diagnosis difficult.
You do not have a CD - Microsoft support engineers seem to think that everything requires a XP CD and this is not the case.
Are you sure that you are running Windows XP (you are in XP forums).
How do you that compressed the bootmgr file obtained in the first place?
Provide information on your system, the better you can:
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
Your system have IDE or SATA disks?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?
What you see you don't think you need to see?
What do not you think that you should see?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
