Hi,

I have a serious problem with my laptop. Recently it has become really slow
and the other day it will not show my profile. It boots up and lets me logon
but it then comes up with a svchost.exe errpr and an explorer.exe error. I
have tried to repair windows with my installation disk but the windows
installation does not appear in the list and it only allows me to install a
new copy of xp.

I have also tried to expand the svchost.ex off the installation disk to
C:\windows\system32 folder but it says Access Is Denied. I have tried to also
open the document and settings folder but it says Access is denied.

Does anyone have any ideas on how i can solve this.

Cheers

James
 
Can you please post a copy of the Error Report from Event Viewer?

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly i can`t get to the start menu or anything
on the desktop. Although i can login it comes up with an error regarding my
profile and then won`t show anything except a black screen. I`ve tried
ctrl+alt+del to get the task manager up but this comes up with a task manager
error.

I have now put the drive on as a slave and i can see all the files but when
i try and copy a file it says "Path is too long" any ideas on this one?

Cheers for the help

James
