Computer is upset at me!
Could someone tell me what is happening to my system.
I followed some "suggestions" from Symantec to delete Norton and must have deleted something from my registry. Before I did it I copied the registry to the desktop, but now it says it cannot merge with the registry and I am missing CCREGMON.dll Things seem to be missing at times like drive letters, my cursor disappears. Word will not work either, it says it cannot find the Document Template C:\\...\STARTUP\Word Code Cleaner.dot & the file Windows XP Professional Service Configurations.doc is not available. Found out I might have to do updates but unsure how, found out my motherboard is FLORIDA-TG 19990603 It is a Intel Celeron 533 MHz with 192 MB RAM. Had problems with USB ports also nor showing up properly. Help Please Bruce -- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

You can try with restoring to a previous system restore point. If that
doesn't work, then I'll suggest you to reinstall the computer. :-) // Chen "Bruce Lawrence" skrev i meddelandet ... Could someone tell me what is happening to my system.

Thanks for all the responses.
System Restore will only go back one week & it will not reset. Thanks for info on clock don't know why that happened. Will try to watch the number of posts I didn't know I was doing too many, I am still new to newsgroups. Would doing updates help? My BIOS cannot be upgraded, but maybe chipsets and what ever other drivers need it? Any idea how i can get into BIOS or CMOS setup for Windows XP Pro which used to be XP Home and originally Windows 98. That's it I will shut up now.

Bruce, if you can't do a system restore, you might be out of luck. But,
before doing a reinstallation, try doing a repair install. It doesn't help very often, but sometimes it will fix the sort of problems you are experiencing - and you won't have to reinstall all of the other software. An attempt is almost certainly worth the time and effort. "Bruce Lawrence" wrote in message ... Thanks for all the responses. System Restore will only go back one week & it will not reset.

Have you gone to the Windows update site and downloaded the critical updates? I'm betting it's a case of viruses and/or spyware running rampant. |

Most everyone else has you covered. First, with regard to updates, usually
that refers to device drivers, you visit the device manufacturer's websites for those or application updates, the same, visit the website of the application maker. The instructions for a repair install are as follows: NOTE, while a repair install should leave your data files intact, if something goes wrong during the repair install, you may be forced to start over and do a clean install of XP. If you don't have your data backed up, you would lose your data should that eventuality occur. Assuming your system is set to boot from the CD-ROM drive and you have an actual XP CD as opposed to a recovery CD, boot with the XP CD in the drive and perform a repair install as outlined below. If the system isn't set to boot from the CD or you are not sure, you need to enter the system's BIOS. When you boot the system, the first screen usually has instructions that if you wish to enter set press a specific key, when you see that, do so. Then you will have to navigate to the boot sequence, if the CD-ROM drive is not first line, set it first in the boot sequence. Save your settings and exit with the XP CD in the drive. The system will reboot. When the system boots, a few screens into the process you may see a message instructing you to hit any key in order to boot from the CD along with a countdown. When you see this be sure to hit a key on the keyboard, if you miss this instruction and the system fails to boot from the CD, it's too late, you'll need to reboot and try again. Once you have pressed a key, setup should begin. You will see a reference asking if you need to load special drivers and another notice that if you wish to begin the ASR (Automatic Recovery Console) depress F2. Just let setup run past all of that. It will continue to load files and drivers. Then it will bring you to a screen. Eventually, you will come to a screen with the option to (1) setup Windows or (2) Repair Windows Installation using the Recovery console. ***The selection you want at this screen is "Setup Windows," NOT "Repair Windows Installation. The first option, to setup Windows is the one you want and requires you to press enter. When asked, press F8 to accept the end user agreement. Setup will then search for previous versions of Windows. Upon finding your version, it will ask if you wish to Repair your current installation or install fresh. Press R, that will run a repair installation. From there on, follow the screens. If you only have a recovery CD, your options are quite limited. You can either purchase a retail version of XP which will allow you to perform the above among other tools and options it has or you can run your system recovery routine with the Recovery CD which will likely wipe your drive, deleting all files but will restore your setup to factory fresh condition. Your system BIOS isn't likely to be the cause of any of the issues you described. Generally, a BIOS only needs updating if you are having some hardware compatibility issue that cannot be resolved with driver updates and then, only if an update addresses the issue or sometimes to add additional features not currently supported by your motherboard, sometimes such additional features are found in BIOS updates. To answer the question about how to enter the BIOS, this varies depending upon system, however, when your system boots, usually the first screen, though sometimes a later screen, contains a message to hit a specified key in order to enter setup, hitting the specified key gets you into the BIOS. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "Bruce Lawrence" wrote in message ...

I had the same thing happen..I had to have my entire pc restored. You need to take out all connections (printer, cable modem, etc.) and then restore. "bullwinkel J. Moose" wrote in message ... Just a thought. Do you have your operating system on a logical drive by itself. If so, you might not have to reinstall all your programs only the start menu and icons. If you decide to do a complete XP install I suggest you first copy your windows/system and windows/system32 file to an off drive location. That way you can run your programs and copy back the missing DLL files. Whatever you do collect all your data files off computer so that you don't lose all that. You should be doing that on a regular basis anyway. Computers are not human and sometime I wonder if computer users are not either.
