Hello

Ntoskrnl.exe is a component of Windows which means than anything else he has led astray.

Think video drivers especially if it may be others. Refer to the section of driver in my credits
methods of troubleshooting blue screen below. BIOS, chipset of low level drivers and
antispyway/antivirus/security programs can also cause this. Check the resolution of the problems and
When you arrive at the driver and tests of memory sections do reference to generic methods in following
message and then back to the if necessary troubleshooting tool.

Cause

A driver tried to access a pageable (or that is completely invalid) address while the IRQL was too high.

This bug check is usually caused by drivers who used a wrong address.

If the first parameter has the same value as the fourth parameter, and the third parameter indicates a runtime operation, this bug check was probably caused by a driver who was trying to run code when the code itself has been paginated outside. The possible causes for the error page are:

  • The function was marked as pageable and was operating at an IRQL higher (including obtaining a lock).
  • The function call was made to a function in another pilot, and that this driver has been unloaded.
  • The function was called by using a function pointer that was an invalid pointer.

    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).

    Hello DragonBill,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    Regarding your question, the most common cause of the error is an abundance of. SHD and. Files in the directory of spool SPL.  These files are created by the spooler to save data delayed a print job.  The. SPL file contains the drawing commands and the. SHD file contains information of working parameters the print job.

    To try to correct the application spoolsv.exe error, you must remove these files from the system.  To do this, perform the following steps on your Windows Vista computer:

    1. open the Control Panel, select Classic view, select Administrative Tools and then select Services .

    2. in the Services management console, find the Spooler service, right-click on it and select stop.

    3. then open the folder C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers .  (Here, we assume that your Windows is installed in the default C:\Windows folder)

    4. delete all the . SHD and SPL files in this folder.

    5. then open the TMP folder and delete all the old, unused files in this folder.

    6. Finally, restart the spooler from the Services management console service.

    Important note: If you are unable to delete the files in Normal Mode, then you may have to restart your computer in Mode safe to delete files.  To start your PC in safe mode, press F8 when the system restarts, and then select the Mode option safe mode from the Windows Advanced Options Menu.

    If deleting the files do not straighten out the problem, you must perform a system restore and restore your system to the times before when the error started appearing on your computer.  A.m. run the restoration of the system, open Start, all programs, Accessories, System Tools , and then select the System restore option.  On the Welcome to system restore screen, select the restore my computer to a time option earlier and select Next.  In the Select Restore Point screen, select the date that represents the restore point to which you want to restore your computer back, and then select Next.  Finally, check and then click Next again to confirm your restore point and restore of the system.  Restart your computer when you are prompted, and then press OK to close the end of System Restore screen.

    It is important that you know that application errors can also occur because of virus or spyware infections.  In fact, the Spoolsv.exe process is also a known backdoor vulnerability which can be planted on your computer for malicious purposes by an attacker.  Therefore, if you see an unknown process running on your system, you must take appropriate measures to remove them.

    Let us know if these steps solve your problem.  I hope the information is useful.

    Kind regards

    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.

  • 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.

    2. when the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R.
      
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
      
    4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If you have not set a password for the account admin simply press on enter
      
    5. at the command prompt, type chkdsk/r > press ENTER. (Note: there is a space between the slash and the letter k).
      
    6. at the end of the output of scan type > press ENTER.
      
    7 restart your computer.

  • Windows didn't start because the following file is missing/windows/system32/config/system Windows XP

    Original title: repair/restore of windows?, a little confused?

    My brother has problems with his computer. It happens that windows didn't start because the following file is missing/windows/system32/config/system. I need to know how to do this, but for some time.

    On the sites, some say not to use get it back? (is that right?) Here's what they say. He has not brought his xp disk, I tried an iso online but lacks the EULA. I have a windows xp update here somewhere, thatt allow me to fix his system?
    I basically have to hit enter then press R? Thank you
    1. Press Enter to start the configuration of Windows.

      do not choose "to repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, press on R", (do not want to load the Recovery Console). I repeat, do not choose "to repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, press on R.

    2. Accept the license agreement and Windows will search for existing installations of Windows.
    3. Select the XP installation you want to repair in the list, press Rto start the repair. If the repair is not one of the options, END of installation
