Hi. I suddenly had these error report yesterday when i had to shut
down the pc and turn it on again saying that the file is damaged or
missing. i can't access win animore...the only way i can manage my
drive is using the windows install cd, but the file that i am looking for
is not to find on the cd...I even tried to copy it from another pc but I
can't copy the file in win because it is used for a process, and (pure
unluck) using the win cd on the other pc i have (by the way, it's winxp)
it askes me for an admin password that I really don't have, don't know
why.
So i'm asking is it is possible to download this file from internet, or if
somebody could please send it to me. THANX
..
 
What file is missing?

Try a boot into Safe Mode, by hitting F8 just before the "Starting
Windows" screen would appear (takes a bit of practice).
Choose LAST GOOD.

If that isn't applicable, use a working PC to read these sites...

How to Recover from a Corrupted Registry
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q307545
describes a three-step process to extract a copy of the registry
from the System Restore SVI folder.

After your system is restored, the ERUNT utility available here may
make it easier to fix the problem if it recurs...

If the problem persists, try swapping current RAM (even if it checks
good) for a single, high-quality 512Mb chip. XP reportedly is sensitive
to memory timing.
 
THANX TO ALL OF YOU....I'LL SEE IF IT WORKS!
