I have windows xp. All dates are updated. Whenever I try to defragmant my c drive I get a message that says: incosistancies in the file system and told me to run chkdsk and scan disk and try to defragment again but I keep getting same message. How can I fix it?

Hi cliffordsevec,

Follow these methods.

Method 1: Follow these steps:

Step 1: Relocation of defragmentation

(a) in the disk, find the directory c:\Windows\Inf. If the system directory is not on the c: drive or not named Windows, find by clicking on "Start", then "run" and type %Windir%\Inf in the area.

(b) find the file called dfrg.inf.

(c) right click on the file and select "install".

Step 2: Repair defrag

un) Click on "Start", then "run", run this command: regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll.

(b) click "Start", then "run" and execute this command: regsvr32 dfrgui.dll.

(c) run Defrag.

Method 2: Follow the steps in the article.

  • After the installation of Windows 'important' 3 updates my screensaver started does not. I get a message that says "ScreenSaver:Photo screensaver.scr - unable to locate component".

    Original title: screen saver does not start because MSVCR100.dll was not found

    After the installation of Windows 'important' 3 updates my screensaver started does not. I get a message that says:

    ScreenSaver: Photo screensaver.scr - unable to locate component.

    This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    The screen saver starts after you close the error message. I've never had a problem with my screen saver up to that after I downloaded updates. I don't know how to reinstall the application. I tried Windows Fix - It Solutions, but it does not work. He repeated to me that it was a mistake.

    Help, please. Thank you.

    Hello

    It didn't reinstall the ATL update, it reinstalled 2005 Redistributable. So now, I have 2005 and 2010 x 86 both. And it says that two dates installiation are two days after I installed the 2010. I know 2005 and the update was uninstalled, because I checked after restart the computer and before you install the 2010 version. Very curious.

    But my Screensaver works and access to the camera seemed to work after uninstalling / reinstalling the software. So, good. Thank you.

  • I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked,

    I had to perform a clean install of Win7 Ultimate on Win7Pro, which recorded data may in a window.old directory.   When I installed Win 7 Ultimate, it would install with Win 7 Pro installed, so I've had to do a clean install which has formatted the hard drive.

    I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate with the product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked and I cannot activate my installation of Win 7 Ultimate.  What are the options?
    One of the solutions is to re - install the original program, Win 7 Pro and then re install Win 7 Ultimate.
    It seems like a repeat of the whole process that I just finished.

  • When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file &#60; root windows &#62; \system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing.

    file HAL.dll

    When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file \system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing. Please reinstall a copy of the file. I have the original Windows XP CD and I tried to re - install, but it will not go beyond the implementation of window. I can't sign in to windows. How can I reintall this file?

    It's extremely likely that you will need to replace the hal.dll and since there are seven files on the XP installation CD that will extend into hal.dll, which would you choose?  It depends on your hardware, but it is extremely likely that the problem (did I already say that?).  I've never had to replace a file hal.dll for this problem.

    The real problem is most likely that XP just can not find the file because of a file system corruption or a file c:\boot.ini afflicted.

    For this error, I would always be first boot from the XP Recovery Console and sometimes run a chkdsk-r that will fix things right to the top.

    If the chkdsk /r is clean and you have the same problem, and then re-create your c:\boot.ini file but rename the old one first so you don't build on top of those afflicted - this tidbit is absent from MS KB article that assumes too.

    You can do all this in the XP Recovery Console, but do go through these methods in this article and see how you go.

    For example, method 1 will not work if your system does not start.  You may have more luck with other "methods".

    If that doesn't work, then I suggest to provide a little more information about your system:

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a real installation CD bootable XP which is the same Service Pack as your installed Service Pack? (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    I have Windows XP Professional running on a desktop older.  I cleaned the disk and I would use it only as a 'internet '.  It works well and response times are pretty fast, but when I connect I get a box that says "Please wait while Windows configures FAX"... this process stops and I get another message that says "the component you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or another removable disk that is not available", "put the 'FAX' disk and click OK. , "" Use Source: '1' "»

    The first question is I do not use a fax application and never did, I have tried every disk I can think of to complete the process, but I get the same message with each one 'the path '1' is not found.

    This will take place two or three times at the beginning upward.  How can I prevent Windows Setup tries to install something that I do not use or do not seem to have?  I deleted any fax program, that I could find on the computer, and nothing seems to work.
