  Windows 7 Home Edition ceased to show my photo thumbnails files. I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it. I have read and tried several elements without result. I'm not a patient person, and I have little tolerance when something that was working fine suddenly stop it doing so.

  A quick response that works would be appreciated.

• Windows XP Home Edition has lost drive of installation and CD Key - cannot repair windows (damaged WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file)

  I can't start Windows XP Home Edition at all - everything I try to do using the Advanced Options results in the same error message screen (Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...). I can't do a repair installation because my friend who has built my computer and installed my operating system lost the disc to install Windows XP Home Edition and the CD Key, I ordered. I can't find anyone else who has their record.

  Is there a way I can fix the system without the authentic installation disk files? If not, is there a way I can receive a free/good Windows installation disc market replacement of Microsoft? Also, I don't want to lose any documents on my computer in the process.

  Thanks for the help!

  Have you tried 'XP No Boot troubleshooting steps' sticky post at the top of this forum?

  As this issues happens several times a day and your system falls into any category to start, why not start there and see if that helps?

  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 it must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and setting that may solve your problem completely, but you must start there.

  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 XP Recovery CD of Console.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

  You can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console when no XP CD is available by following the instructions in this link:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

  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 RC and restart the computer.

  No, I don't want a pirated... version that's why I'm here in the first place... where the * I can find an edition of OS INSTALLATION CD [i] [/ i] for Windows XP Home Edition... I don't want to win. 7 OR Win. Vista... the computer is not yet able to execute even when... They both require too much CPU/ram...

  The computer is currently running Ubuntu (a Linux distro.) but with how old is the computer, he can't run most programs I would like to...

  The sticker key product or something else, says 'Windows XP Home Edition, HPQ'

  Hello rutofteaching,

  Because the certificate of authenticity (CoA) has "HPQ" on that, we know that it is a HP or Compaq computer.  Please contact HP/Compaq support to see if you can order a recovery disc for the computer.  If the original motherboard is still in the computer, it is always allowed to run Windows XP Home Edition HP/Compaq.

  Departure to this page by using HP/Compaq: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

  If none of the recovery discs are available from HP/Compaq, please try other suppliers such as www.restoredisks.com.

  In a pinch, you can borrow real Microsoft hologrammed XP Home installation disc a friend provided with licenses from Microsoft for XP Home Edition OEM/systembuilder/small manufacturer.  Installation using this CD and the product key located on CoA on your computer and NOT the product key provided with the CD. After installation, you must activate by telephone and NOT by an automatic online activation.

  As others have posted, there is nowhere on the Microsoft site that you can download an ISO file or equivalent for Windows XP Edition family.  You wouldn't use a downloaded disk even if you could find one elsewhere on the internet because they are probably packed full of malware, rootkits, and who knows what else - not what you want to infest your computer with.

• Satellite L40-139 - need driver Windows XP Home edition for 'ethernet '.

  Please can you send me the link to Satellite L40 ethernet control model of laptop for Windows XP Home edition?

  Hello

  Satellite L40-139 belongs to the PSL40E series. Am I wrong?
  You can check the serial number of your laptop. It should be placed somewhere at the bottom of the unit. Check all labels.

  Anyway, the Toshiba driver European page doesn't provide XP drivers for this series at this time. Seems you have to wait a bit until all pilots to be released!

  For the only moment that two versions of the BIOS for L40 PSL40E if released.
  The BIOS must be updated to the XP version, if you want to use XP on this laptop.

  By the way; It seems that this series is supported by the Base map - TX Ethernet Realtek 10/100.
  Then you can try the LAN driver from the site Web of Realtek. Should also work.

  Good bye
