In the associated file zip file is missing. How to restore?

Hello

My OS is Vista Home Premium SP2.

Recently, I confused a zip for a .rar file.  I changed the file association by default for zip to a rar program that I downloaded.  When I discovered my mistake I deleted the default rar to zip file program.  Subsequently every zip file I extracted gave rise to a simple white icon with the name of the file, and when you click on products a popup that read Windows could not open the file.  When I checked the associations to file again, I discovered .zfsendtotarget with a plain white icon and unknown Application as default file and no Zip file.

I found a Microsoft article in Google which offers the download file Association Fixer to fix the default value of the zip file.  After reboot everything was as it had been.  Another suggested article I'm doing a sfc/scannow high that would find and fix and Vista issues.  I did the scannow but he pointed out that he has not found any breach of integrity.

I hesitate a moment lost and to be honest to try something more because of my limited computer knowledge.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

You have no need to set the binding for 7-zip.

Once you have installed, right-click on a compressed file... 7-zip will be on the list from the context menu, click on it... Click on extract files... just follow the guests to complete the extraction.

It's very simple. Try again.

    To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig. You will find the three points and they will have a description 'file is missing' against everyone. Your antivirus software has removed the files, but not the startup entries in the registry. All you need to do is delete the entry using Autoruns to eliminate the error messages.

    Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

    You must first start on doing something so USB drive a bootable Hiren.

    Here's how:

    I'll recommend you use Hiren boot CD (it will go also to a flash/USB stick/USB).

    It's good for you, because there a lot of tools more on that on the Recovery Console CD of XP, doesn't your administrator passwords and you will not have to futz round in your BIOS, if any afflicted system has SATA drives - Hiren can deal with this.

    You will have a bunch of great tools that you have in XP... Recovery Console an editor of the register, adjustable password and an office that resembles Windows XP so you will feel comfortable flexibility.

    You can easily copy your personal data (documents, pictures, music) to an external drive.

    A system of work, start by downloading the latest version on Hiren Boot CD from here (it is a substantial download but worth it):
    http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/    (look to the bottom of the page).

    Unzip the Hiren to a folder where you can find it.  There's a Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have to then.

    Hiren was instructed to make a bootable USB drive that you can use, but it takes you first burn the .iso to a CD image file and a few other measures, so I suggest another way and here's how:

    Download RUFUS 1.3.2 or whatever the latest version is here (read a few things on the page so you can learn more on this subject):

    http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

    I will warn to be careful that don't accidentally format you a hard disk - don't forget your USB key is in and know what the drive letter!  This part makes me still a little nervous, so be careful.

    Launch of RUFUS and all default values should be fine for the device, choose letter of your USB drive, quick tag format FAT32, it if you want and in the Format options box, click on the little icon that looks like a CD and a window will open.  Navigate through this dialogue to point to the folder that contains the Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have unpacked above and the box should change to say the image ISO (RUFUS includes the Hiren ISO file).

    Double check you have the right device selected in the top (NOT you HDD) click Start, acknowledge receipt of the warning and let it finish (it will take a little time) it copies the files.   Hiren ISO is also a good size.

    When RUFUS is finished, it will say "DONE" at the bottom.

    Put the USB in the afflicted machine and reset/reboot and regardless of the button you press to get a boot menu where you can select the USB drive as first boot device (it's F11 for me).  If you do not see a start menu choice, you will need to set your BIOS to boot from USB first instead of the HARD disk.

    When the Hiren menu displays, choose the XP Mode of Mini and it will start loading (slowly from a USB key) and finally, you should see a windowsy looking for office.  You should recognize the part and feel uncomfortable, but it is not your office - the office of the Hiren!

    Remember: you do not start on your hard drive, - you started in the Office of the Hiren.

    A way to check the drive for errors is to open my computer and right-click on your afflicted player and choose Properties, tools, error, check checking now... put a check mark in the boxes and then start.

    Sometimes that works, then you can also click on start, run and in the type box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window and enter the following command (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive)

    CHKDSK c: /r

    This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

  • My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM.

    My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. It is said it can be repaired by using the original installation CD, but we do not have. Any ideas please?

    The file is missing or corrupt is one of your files in the system registry.

    By far, the best way to recover from this is to go to another computer and create a free Hirens Boot CD.
    Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ > (link at the bottom of the icon of the disk)
    Hirens CD burning <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/burning/ >

    Once you create the CD, and then start your system of problem with this CD.  In the first window, select "Mini Windows XP" and wait for the system to start.  When it starts, go to the Hirens Boot CD menu and select
    Register-> Registry Restore Wizard.
    then follow the prompts.  This wizard will return a copy of your registry database from backups that are stored with your system restore points.  After the restoration, stop, remove the CD and restart.

    When you start your system, it is recommended to perform a system restore operation to ensure the consistency of your system

    If you get the message hal.dll missing, your system is still booting from the hard drive and do not boot from the XP Recovery Console CD (I hope that you have created).

    There is no hal.dll on the CD you made if all goes well.

    You must enter the BIOS of your system and make the first boot from the CD to your Pcakard device Bell looks like it firstly, instead to focus first on the HARD drive (make the drive the second choice for now).

    Searching the Internet, I found a message that says to enter the Packard Bell BIOS you must do this:

    Users of Packard Bell, you can access the BIOS set up by pressing the keys F1, F2 or del

    I don't have a PB, so I can't say for sure if that works, or what to do after that - you will need to look around the BIOS for things like the boot order boot priority, etc. and make the CD drive the first choice, second choice HARD drive, save the settings, then you can boot from the CD I hope that you have made using these instructions.

    Generally when the system detects a CD is inserted, it will sell you a message like this:

  • Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

    1. Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes pulling and buttons power).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).
    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so corruption of file system must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.
    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.
    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).
    A CD of XP Recovery Console is not the same as the recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.
    If you have any bootable CD to run the XP Recovery Console or that you are not sure what type of bootable CD you have, can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).
    If you need instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console, we can predict that too (just ask).
    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:
    C:\WINDOWS
    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:
    Chkdsk /r
    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:
    CHKDSK c: /r
    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's 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.
    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.
    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer and the report with your progress.
