Not sure how to start...but, my system has been displaying numerous
problems of late.


First off - my personal instance of Office 2007 won't download or send
emails. Error message states that - out of memory error. *Close down
applications for free up memory (something to that affect). *My wife's
account works perfectly fine. *I understand that it is most likely a
personal profile issue.


But before I could resolve the problem, my system rebooted itself and
now states that my system file in Windows\system32\ is corrupt or
missing. *I ran a number of chkdsk instances and seem to have cleaned
up many problems with various indexes.


The system then booted up but I now have problems with accessing the
task manager. *An error message informs me that a specific file does
not exist and therefore can't open the application. *I attempted to
reinstall the task manager, but no luck. *At some point the system
rebooted itself and I ended up back to the corrupt system file error.


In the past I have had issues with my video card drivers, so I updated
them. *I've also experienced issues with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and
removed it. *Neither solution has made any difference. *If I continue
to attempt to reboot the system, it has in the past started up. *But
this can take days.


I'm sure this screams out...reinstall the OS and be done with it. *But
the original OS disc is out of date since I've updated my system to
SP3. *I've attempted to slipstream XP with SP3 but have had no luck to
date and do not know frankly if it will work. *I don't want to wipe
the drive clean and start from scratch as it will take me days/weeks
to reconfigure the system.


This is a last gasp attempt to resolve this problem. So if there is
any suggestions out there I will send major karma points your way.


Thanks in advance,
