• Windows xp sp3 does not start after the failure of windows update and restart.

  Hello

  My ADVENT 3217 pc runs windows xp sp3 does not start once a windows recently failed update and restarted. He's just in a reboot loop. The first time it happened I got an error code of c000021a. I tried pressing F8 and try to start safe mode and other options... but still nothing. I also tried to use my restore disc supplied with my pc. So far, I've only tried the non-destructive recovery to restore windows and it did not work. I don't want to lose my files that I have not saved for quite awhile.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

• Windows xp pro sp3 will not start corrupted boot.ini and hal.dll - please help

  I installed Norton 360 offred via internet was last updated.  It immediately launched all applications previously disabled at STARTUP in msconfig.  And shortly after he started to gives me the blue screen "to the death".  This done in two days, and I was desperately trying to solve the problem by turning off almost all applications critical to running Windows XP Pro SP3, Norton and Office 2007 Home and student.  I even went and tried to edit the Boot.ini file in startup and recovery under the Advanced tab in the workstation properties.  Now all I get is an error message Windows cannot start because the hal.dll file is missing or damaged.  I replaced it by copying a modified version of the boot sequence, while the hard drive of my laptop was enslaved to my desktp PC, but nothing helped.  I can't even the Recovery Console to start on my laptop.  I need HELP, please.

  These profile errors are usually caused by one of the following:

  1-profile corruption.  The user profile is damaged and that Windows cannot load.  To resolve this issue, create a new user profile and move your files to the new profile.   See here for more information:

  How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile

  2 drives or corruption of the file system.  Run chkdks /f on the volume C:.  Please note that there is ALWAYS a risk of data loss when chkdsk is run on a volume, ideally, you should have a backup of your files before running chkdsk.

  3 - virus or malware activity.  Some of these parasites can revoke your permissions on the folder of your profile, check the permissions on "C:\Documents and Settings\Andre" and make sure you have a full control on the folder.  Check this box until you try #1 or 2 above.

  Some of these parasites can also revoke your permissions in key areas of the registry and create real Dany on the machine that can prevent you to run some of your software.  Use Regedit to load your old profile hive (NTUSER. (DAT) in your profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Andre\NTUSER. (DAT) and make sure you have full control over the key.  In the advanced security settings to ensure that the child objects are inherit permissions from the parent and put a check mark on "replace entries permissions for all child objects...". "Click on apply and OK your way out.  See here for easy to follow instructions for loading and editing of remote registry hives: http://www.rwin.ch/xp-live/regedit.htm make sure you unload the hive when you're done, otherwise the changes will not be saved.

  These parasites can also revoke permission on the other key of registry and system files, you can use SubInACL to restore your permissions on these key objects, see here for more information:

• Windows XP SP3 will not install and repeatedly keep trying with Windows Update

  I've had two months of problems with Windows 7 and had to build a Windows XP machine. I installed Windows XP Pro SP2 on the clean machine and tried to install SP3 I had downloaded and put it on a CD. Installation backed up the existing files and install the new files. The installer said he was changing the registry. After that the installer said that there was an error, a file is not found. Then uninstalled and restored the old files. Keeps Windows Update downloaded a stream of updates (as you would expect with a clean install), but at the end of installation of the batch that is being updated is in SP3 update running. Whenever the SP3 update is executed, it gets to the same point, fails because it cannot find a file and UN-installs itself again. The indices of anyone? It's a real Microsoft Windows XP Pro out of the box, not an OEM.

  Hi guenoun,.

  The message I received installation of SP3 was "System cannot find the file requested" with no error code. As I was installing a SP3 at the start of a CDROM created from the uploaded image of CDROM I thought it was unlikely that the CDROM was corrupt or missing files. So, I went in Mode safe mode and use the account administrator. SP3 installed then OK (it took more time than installing Windows XP). I then checked the updates, and although Windows Update has been updated about 10 new updates flooded down. So problem solved. It must have been one of these security issues where be a user with administrative privalges was not enough.

  Kind regards

• Windows Firewall/ICS will not start.

  Work on my aunts old Dell Dimension 3000 with XP Home Edition. She had downloaded about 5 to 6 cents free games and the 75g hard drive was full of 97% and I had to boot into safe mode and to sit and to uninstall programs for about 3 hours just to make it down to 83% full to do a Defrag. Its actually work very well now, but I know I have a lot of empty as much as * in the start menu. Also, McAfee trail period expired so I put Microsoft Security Essentials on it when I get the network card working. My main concern right now is to get the active windows firewall. Its a service does do not question, I'm sure. I'm used to Win7 64bits easy repairs, but did not do much with XP. I've run sfc.exe and msconfig set to normal. What to do next? Also, I find it odd the drive c does not list in the management of the computer, but is displayed in my computer. I heard Island what OS is on the partition of disk #0 #2? Is it just a thing of Dell?

  Also, McAfee trail period expired

  You should probably flatten and reinstall.  The fact that the system partition is #2 suggests that this particular Dell has a hidden restore partition.  Dell support site seems to have a lot of broken links at the moment, but in general:

  Reboot and when the Dell splash screen appears during the computer startup process, press and then press . Then release both keys at the same time. Which should help you in the PC Restore application where you have to follow the guests.

• Windows Vista - Laptop Will NOT start properly

  I'm trying to fix laptop from my friend and I ran into a dead end, trying to get this thing to start properly. It's a laptop of Dell Inspirion used (model pp26L).

  From it normally of the results in a blue or white screen. When I go into the Advanced Boot Options, I tried "last good known Configuration (Advanced) and it goes to the black screen and does not change for hours." I also hit 'Repair your computer' and it brings up a window that is titled "System Recovery Options: RecEnv.exe - Application Error" and said, "the instruction at 0x775c6295 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program. »

  I don't know what I can do at this point because I'm not too familiar with Windows Vista anymore. My friend cannot afford to buy a new laptop so I hope someone here can help me solve this!

  UPDATE: if I managed to get "Last good known Configuration (Advanced)" to work, but it left me with a window titled "Startup Repair" that says "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically".

  I don't have a Vista CD or whatever it is attached to the laptop. Everything that I have this thing is the laptop and the charger.

  The attached image is the screen that arose after the publication of the Startup Repair tool window.

• Windows XP SP3 does not start after power failure

  I've known a sequence of power failure while my computer was on. When the power was restored, I couldn't boot into Windows. Windows stops before loading the Welcome screen and hangs. I tried in "Safe Mode" and "Restore Point", but always impossible to load up to 'user account screen '. I am running XP SP3.

  I tried recovery of original windows CD. No joy. I ran chkdsk with the option/r several times and fixboot as well, without success. Help, please!

  Just type fixmbr at the command prompt in Recovery Console.

  Hi again

  Well I'm glad you got it up and running again. As you run fixmbr we believe only you had a corrupted master boot record. It could have been the virus you had, but do not explain why you can't boot from the CD.

  But it seems to work fine now. If you are not sure of your MBR and think that there is always a virus hides somewhere there is a detection program capable of analyzing your MBR for all changes that have taken place. The programs name is MBRCheck and you can get it here http://ad13.geekstogo.com/MBRCheck.exe

  You should be able to run it in Windows Normal or if your McAfee blocks it try safe mode.

  But I think McAfee would have found a boot sector virus.

• Windows live mail will not start.

  This problem started a week ago. The screen just hangs but I see the new mail icon in the taskbar.

  Then I have to go into the Task Manager and delete the exe command to stop it.

  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, various 'solutions' suggested on forums online, such as updated drivers for the video card and a downloaded fix, but nothing worked.
