Lack of Firewall Service. How to fix without OEM disks?

Have an old HP Pavilion a161 on office w / Win XP Home edition. I got hit by a virus a month ago & had to pay to have the virus deleted.  I've since upgraded to best antivirus / firewall & deleted MS Security Essentials, which turned out not to be so effective.  I've noticed a few problems to make the Firewall works & determined the Firewall Service file is missing (& who knows what other files?).

It was a OEM pre-installed (without disks) & as it is a system older w / low RAM & aging BONES, I'd rather not invest much more of $ in there.  A new PC (perhaps another HP, as it proved to be a very reliable computer) is definitely in the plans, but a purchase will have to wait a few months.  At the time of the original purchase, I paid Best Buy to make restore disks, but that would mean a destructive complete reinstall.  I did several searches on the web & looked on this Forum without a bit of luck; I even considered upgrade to XP Pro, but it's still more money for an aging system & old BONES...

So without OEM disk (s), how to manage a repair to restore the missing files? I'll check to ask 'the Expert Day'.  Thanks for any help!

    Not enough space for which drive? This is a warning most likely a not enough space on the recovery partition.

    This occurs when Windows Backup is used without a dedicated external hard drive. Is that what you did?

    If so, access the recovery partition and delete all backups that you sent to there.

    Then you get an external hard drive and backup on it.

  • Satellite L550D-13V - how to recover without recovery disks?

    Hello

    I had a big problem. Win 7 Home Premium 64 BIT crashed on my satellite L550D-13V.

    I tried to fix it, but it does not work. So I decided to recover via HARD disk utility.
    Everything seems to be okay, but ultimately the tool said that errors have occurred. I tried to get it back again, but the process aborted with blue screen "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" this time.

    After reboot system told me that no bootmgr is available. I tried to start using the recovery disk, but it also seems to be defective because the system cannot boot from the disks.

    And there is my problem. I cannot start / retrieve now. Volume D seems to be OK - the HARD disk utility files are still available, but I can't create a new recovery disks and it is not possible to start in disk utility.

    You have any ideas?

    Thanks in advance and best regards
    Danny

    Hello

    The story is strange
    I m wondering why you are not able to boot from the recovery disc?
    Have you used the recovery disk created in the past or have you tried this drive for the first time?

    However, with regard to the error message: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
    I googled for that and it sounds like it could be linked to the fault memory.
    Perhaps one of the failures modules.

    Of course, this is just a personal opinion

    If a HARD drive folder is available on your HARD drive, then there is a small chance of getting the recovery of HARD drive to work. Here's an interesting thread:
