Missing files on Windows 7
I had windows 7 for a few weeks now on a brand new computer. I'm impressed, but I'm having a problem. Twice now, I turned on my computer to find my saved game files are absent, and my wife does not have the documents that she had worked on. The games were still installed, but when I went to play them (Comand and Conquer 3 and Resident Evil 5) I had to put the new purchase code and my saved games was left in the two programs. Windows Live does not remember my profile the way which he had many times before. The gadgets that I had installed on the desktop disappeared, history of the internet, Favorites, everything disappeared. Looks like an update runs and deleting files or restore to an earlier time. I didn't catch it doing, and no home did it on purpose. I think that's when the system boots. I'm not a computer guru and I don't have any idea what is causing the problem. It's very frustrating to know that I have to go kill all the zombies again!
Anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks in advance.
The only programs I have installed are Office 03, Norton Internet Security 2010, command and Conquer 3, Resident Evil 5 and tool XBOX 360 accessories (to run my XBOX 360 controller). I had no other problems or any other problem to be wary of. Norton runs a scan, and it comes out clean.
Fix of BigSarge87 was perhaps automagical?
My plan now is that connection, then connect again the next time it happens to see if that fixes it.
... My wife called me at home this morning and said when she opened a session, everything was back to normal. Now it looks almost like some sort of problem user account. I'll check when I get home for lunch. There is only one account (the default) and a password that has been put in place, so I don't see how we could have been connected as the wrong user.

I recently bought a game and today morning, I made a copy of this disc as an image file on my D:\Downloads\Games folder. After that, I installed the game, he played for a while, then restarted in Ubuntu for some work. I came back to Windows that a few hours earlier.
When I came, I found that the installed game files are absent, and when I tried the installation location, it was empty.Then I checked the folder where I had saved the image file, I found it inside this file.I thought it was a problem with the Windows Explorer, so I restarted Windows Explorer, and then when I checked again, I found that not only the installation files were missing, but also the image file, which was less than a minute, has now gone!
I did what is obvious, and then rebooted my system and checked once again, they were still missing.A summary of the steps I've tried:1 restart Windows Explorer2. restart the system3 rebuilt the indexAlso a virus scan picked clean (Bitdefender Total Security 2013). Show hidden files is enabled.Would be grateful if someone could help me with thiseasy solution I just he stares at me, very well under File Explorer delete the images folder it wont remove your photos, only to click with the right button on the white space and add the new library, add a library and on the tab manage assign him for the photos, that to go into the pictures folder, it will ask you a folder to include click it and go to your computer users your name and your folder my pictures after that you are ready.

How to restore missing files/folders in XP?
He has a record of missing files in Windows. I have the name of the file, it would be necessary to get help. Start a message which says fatal error Reg Open Key E.g. After closing this area that another pops up that says failed to load. I know this file folders to be restored. I need to know how to do this.
It's a little different.
$NtUninstallKB936357-v2$ looks like a legitimate file. At least the name is that of an uninstall file for a Windows update that applies only to some Intel microprocessors. It does not seem likely that this error is indicative of something very wrong.
Please identify your computer's processor. If you are unsure, do a right-click on desktop and select Properties. Your CPU is displayed at the bottom of the general tab.
What a pity that you spent part of your fund limited on Tune Up Utilities 2011, because I think that the use of some of its tools - particularly its "cleaner" register - could be responsible for the error you see.
If you provide the full error message, including everything that appears in the title bar of the window shows the error message you will probably be able to solve this problem quite easily.
FYI, you don't need WinRAR to be able to use the Autoruns. You should be able to open zip files with the native Windows XP interface if you right-click and select "Extract all." If you click on 'Execute Autoexec now from Live.Sysinternals.com' you can download the unzipped exe file or run it under tension (if you use Internet Explorer; Firefox won't let you turn it this way).

Startup error - file is missing or corrupt: windows\system32\config\system
When I turn on my computer, I get the following error message:
Windows could not start because the following gile is missing or damaged:
Windows\System32\Config\System
You can try to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD.
Select the rat the first screen to start repair.I can't solve this problem because I do not understand what to do.
First of all, I put in the recovery CD Toshiba to installation and then I turned on the computer.
When the Toshiba screen came on I pressed r
Nothing happened and I was returned to the original error messageSecondly, I tried holding down c when I turned on the computer because that's what cd said to
The CD loaded and brought me to a screen that asked me if I had backed up all my files
I've supported them all upward, only some, because previously there was no problem with the computer and I don't think I have it will re-start.
I hit not and so I do not know what to do next.I can lose everything on my computer, otherwise I'd just re - load windows. What should I do?
Is anyway for me to back up my documents and then reload everything, or is there a way for me to fix the entire system without erasing it?
Thanks for your help
JoshI agree with kody. You can try to fix it using windows advanced option menu. Maybe you can also try to repair Windows by using the recovery console. Problem is that this option can be used with Microsoft WXP CD facilities and not with supplied recovery media.

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

HP mini 110-1129nr with windows xp home edition, on said boot computer could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt \windows\system32\config\system computer has no cd/dvd drive. Computer does not load in safe mode, I ran disk hard main test self test it says completion test: failure, check the status: 7 (filled with the read element of the test failed). Help.
You need an external DVD drive to get the repair will.
Also the device you own does not seem to have built in the recovery partition. I'm not sure about later versions of this machine, however, it is best to check with HP.
The problem is that there is a corruption of the registry on your OS or the system could not find where the registry files are due to system files or boot corrupted file.
A repair can be made with an external DVD, the worst case, is that if the repair doesn't work you reinstall Windows.

This is a known bug 'Dumb MS' and very simple to fix. It is simply that the installer wants to put a bit of a music (the standard windows sound) file in a particular place, and the directory does not exist on some copies of OEM Windows XP home.
You just need to create the folder he wants before rerunning the SP3 update. Not at the moment, I can't find a link to the exact thing, but if these directories do not exist, create them. You must be logged on as administrator user to do this.
The file beethoven.wma wants to be in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Shared Music".
OR maybe "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample sounds\" on XP-Home EditionHowever, the "All Users" directory down may be missing or not have NO defined permissions.
To fix it, right-click on "All Users" and click the option 'security '.Click on the security"" tab.
Click on "Add..." »
Click on 'Advanced... '. »
Click on "search".
In the list below, to select multiple click (Ctrl-click) to select:
Administrator
Directors
"Your username".
Click ok all the way out and try again.Last edited by gbhall; http://www.TechSpot.com/VB/topic127254.html 09/05/2009

Fully updated with Svc Pk 3
HITACHI Travelstar hard drive 80 gigNice day
I'm getting this ' file is missing or damaged:------WINDOWS-SYSTEM32-CONFIG-SYSTEM ' error and Windows does not start in the F8 boot options. When I disable the auto reboot, I get a BSOD 51 registry error, consistent with the file "missing or corrupt" error Surprisingly "Recovery Console" works so I used to run chkdsk. This has not solved the problem, but even once, surprisingly, the utility reported no fixed error. Ok. I do research online (using another computer of course) and check out the many tips that I copy some files in my "c:\windows\repair" folder in the folder 'system '. Before I had time to do that, however, I found an article from Microsoft stating that this should not be done if you have an OEM System... what I'm doing. Apparently, hives system on these OEM installed OS set other passwords that can permanently block you on your records if you use this method. Thanks for the warning. My system restore disc is nothing more than a tool of re-insall OS that will wipe all my data in the process, and this is not desirable. Currently, I see again all my data on the drive by using the "recovery console". I'm ready to thread the needle on this one in the hope of re - access the operating system, although in some limited capacity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When you run chkdsk in RC, did you use the /r switch? This is the key! In other words, this should be the command:
Chkdsk /r
(there is a space before the slash)
Moreover, KB307545 can be run safely on most OEM XP installations. Of course, nothing is guaranteed 100%.
Before you do this or else, you really must ensure all data is stored safely. One way to do this is to start on a live Linux CD and then copy the files to an external hard drive. Another way is to connect the problem hard drive into a working PC and copy the files in this way. This could be done by the servo drive or with an adapter like this:
