My computer crashed a couple of days ago. I have an HP that is supposed to
have the system recovery within itself so supposively there was no need for
XP cd's. When I start up my computer it takes me to the windows screen then
displays an error that says there is a corrupt or missing system32 config
file. I am able to access my system recovery, but it does not fix the
problem. I can't get any help from HP or the place I bought my computer. I
was wondering first if there was any possilbe way of fixing this? My
understanding is that is has something to do with a registery file. My other
question is if I were to buy an upgrade would that correct the problem. I
don't have much money especially to spend on things that "may" work, and
aren't returnable once it is opened. I'm a college student, and I have
online classes that I need to attend to! I am desperate for help!!!! Any
help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Tina
 
Hello,
Have you tried XP'S own System Restore.
Start, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, Syetem Restore.
Then follow the prompts to "Restore my computer to an earlier time" and then
pick a date to restore to that was before your crash if there is one

Hope this helps.
