System Config File is missing
I'm stumped. All of a sudden my computer has this error message ... Cannot
start because file "windows\system32\configuration\system" cannot be found. I can't even start in the safe mode or last mode where it was working properly. I can't use the setup disc because the cd-rom stopped working a few months ago. HELP?

Fortunately, these drives are widely available in computer and office
supply stores (in the U.S., at least) and online. They are quite inexpensive. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Gerry wrote: Leonard "I can't use the setup disc because the cd-rom stopped working"????
