  Hello
   
   
  Method 1:
  Try saving the file in safe mode with network.
  Reference:
  Start your computer in safe mode:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
  
  Method 2: Temporarily disable the antivirus software and see if that helps.
  Reference:
  Disable the anti-virus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Error message on my Vista computer: missing or damaged file: C:/windows/system32/drivers/ATAPI.sys. (Status: OXC0000098). NO RECOVERY DISK! (lost).

  Missing or damaged file: C:/windows/system32/drivers/ATAPI.sys. (Status: OXC0000098). NO RECOVERY DISK! (lost). How can I recover my system, if possible? It does not even start.

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  The Startup Repair tool can repair atapt.sys.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (click on the F8 key during startup and go into safe mode with network - or using the prompt from the disk, if necessary, several times).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator (skip thiis step if you use the disk)...

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  In a best-case scenario, he'll fix Atapi.sys.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / event viewer - type eventvwr and enter, if do it from the command prompt).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

  I hope this helps.  Post back the results of the analysis and attempts to repair if these do not work.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• Try to uninstall Earthlink Accelerator but I get an error message that INSTALL. LOG file cannot be found

  I got earthlink.net as a dial-up internet service and changed to netzero.net, so I decided to uninstall all software from Earthlink.  Everything uninstalled great, except for the Earthlink accelerator.  When I go into control panel > programs > earthlink Accelerator > uninstall I get an error message: cannot find INSTALL. LOG file.  I did a search as an administrator to INSTALL fond. Not and the LOG file to get anything.  How can I find this file so that I can uninstall Earthlink accelerator.  I'm very technically inclined but still can't find the problem.

  We will try to remove the registry key associated with Earthlink accelerator.

  Before that, please make a return register by following the steps in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-vista/back-up-the-registry

  Now, perform the following steps:

  Type regedit.exe in the Start search and press on enter.

  Go to the following location and delete the keys. (Also, note the location of the Earthlink accelerator installation file and delete them)

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
  

  Hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run
  

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce
