Unable to start XP

I have a HP Media Center with Windows XP computer. About 6 weeks ago, I made my system up to date who are set on automatic updates and then prompted me to restart my computer. When I restarted the computer, it came to pass a black screen that says a windows file is missing or damaged, and I could not start the computer. I performed a system recovery which put everything back to factory shipped State. Since then, I have reinstalled all my programs, purchased two antivirus (AVG & ad-aware I think) and also recovered all my files (photos, music, video, etc...) Last week, I made my system updates, once again, and when I restarted my computer it now has the start menu screen upward. He has 'start windows in safe mode', ' last known good recording ', 'start wimdows normally', etc... No matter what we I hit enter if he comes back to the same screen. I tried to hit F8 at startup and using all the options as well, but he always returns to the same screen. If I hit F10 I can run a system recovery again, but I don't want to do that at all. Help, please!

stevet0121,
If you have an XP CD then I suggest starting the recovery console and then run the following.

Chkdsk /r

sfc/scannow

If you are able to boot mode safe mode with command prompt, you can run these commands from there.

  • Satellite P15-S420: unable to start Windows XP

    I hope that all makes sense... I'm unable to start after the start page of Windows XP. I think I have assumed that the computer turn off when there is no. The battery may have exhausted and when I plugged it back in and tried to start it would not.

    When the Windows start page is in place, it seems that HD works for awhile, but stops and goes no further. I am able to boot in safe mode and have tried to restore with no effect. When I click on Toshiba Manager of power supply in the control panel I get "Policy of NoteBook Load Fail" this could be a problem.

    What do you think???
    Oh, I have a Satellite P15-S420.

    Hello

    In my opinion, this power saver error message occurs because you started the laptop in safe mode. In this case, the OS doesn't use the Toshiba drivers that are required for the use of additional applications.
    You write about the restore procedure. Have you tried to install the laptop with the supplied restore CD? If this isn't the case, then try it.

    Access your product download page and reinstall the software for bluetooth under networks:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?OS=2093 & LC = on & DLC = in & CC = US & Product = 3716846 & lang = in

    then, under network connections in the network and sharing window - see if you have a bluetooth adapter that is listed.  If you do not use bluetooth, you can turn it off or you should be able to set it up properly.

    If fails it then in Control Panel, under administrative tools, Services - locate service BTtray and disable it.

  • Satellite P200HD-1DV: the error event to the startup-unable to start a DCOM Server

    Whenever I restart it is extremely slow and in my opinion, caused by the following 2 errors that appear in the system as event ID 10000 event log:

    Unable to start a DCOM Server: {7160A13D-73DA-4CEA-95B9-37356478588A}. Error: '2 '.

    Happened at the start of this command:
    C:\windows\system32\igfxsrvc.exe-integration

    I think they are Intel drivers, but have failed to find a cure for this problem.
    Other than a real slow start it seems no problem.
    Am that I the only one having this problem and everyone know the cure?

    So, you understand where the problem is but why didn t you have installed graphic drivers intel one another? I mean, you know where is the problem and you can correct it.

    Otherwise, if a reinstallation does not help, it would be better to completely recover your system to eliminate the problem.

  • Error BTTray: Unable to start Bluetooth Stack Service

    I have an Envy 17 3D (product number: LV045UA #ABA). Recently, shortly after startup, I get an error to the effect that there is a BTTray error as it is unable to start bluetooth stack service.

    I use a Bluetooth Logitech mouse and the mouse continues to work. Befire I started having error, periodically that the mouse could be suddenly disconnected and I must initiate a discovery of the mouse with the Bluetooth discovery mechanism.

    Usually after the rediscovery of the mouse, I would have no other episodes for several days with a new day evey bootup. The error is only a recent development, but the episodes of disconnecting long enough.

    I'm not even sure that the two are linked, and I watch inconsequential number BTTray. However, I want to solve this problem of BTTray error until something of consequence occurs.

    Kind regards

  • Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

    After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

    Help, please!

    I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

    The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

    You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

    Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

    We got a lot of insight.

    First, you need to get your work desk in order to have room for manoeuvre, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.

    What you describe is a situation where the process explorer.exe does not work (probably due to malware).  Think the explorer.exe process IS your desktop... then you must start it manually for now.  If it does not, you will have only wallpaper.

    Of your background image, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.

    Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:

    In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:

    %windir%\explorer.exe

    Click OK and see if get you your office.

    So if you are able to get into the Internet, follow these steps:
