Win XP SP3 - multiple errors system bootup
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 But the original OS disc is out of date since I've updated my system to SP3.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, jag |

Try a "Repair Install" using the guides mentioned
below on creating a slipstreamed CD. Create a "Slipstreamed" version of XP that incorporates SP3 AutoStreamer, it's easy to use and for the most part self explanatory. After you create the CD then do a "Clean Install", see the last part of my reply. Auto Streamer Guide and Download Sites: http://www.simplyguides.net/guides/u...streamer.shtml http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1092632287/1 Where to download SP3 (This file will be used in created the slipstreamed CD) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en Create a Slip Stream version of Windows XP using SP3 http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/slipstream.htm (Using AutoStreamer) http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstre...3_cd_final.htm http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...slipstream.asp The slipstreamed CD you create will not include any specific drivers for your motherboard, audio, video, network, etc. Those you will need to download from your PC manufacture's or motherboard's web site. Using your slipstreamed XP CD, boot from the CD and follow all the instructions until you get to the point where Setup finds your current Windows installation. Just follow the instructions posted at one of the web sites below, read each of the steps carefully so you understand what you will be doing a step by step before you actually start the repair process. Windows will keep your previous settings, including applications and device drivers. Word of warning: Always backup any important data files just incase things don't go as expected. Read all three articles mention below "carefully" and see if a Repair Install meets your needs See: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm and: Windows XP Repair Install - How extreme can you go http://www.pagestart.com/repairinstall.html If the PC boots and you are able to logon, then check 'Device Manager' and look for any Yellow ? You may need to re-install the device drivers or if you are moving to a new computer then have your drive disk ready as you will need to install the Chipset drivers, LAN, Sound any possibly others.

So if there is any suggestions out there I will send major karma points your way. Thanks in advance, jag an old version of nLite -jag I've downloaded Autostream and intiated the integration process with SP3. But it seems that my original WinXP CD is defective. I've had the CD for some time now, it might have been damaged at some point. I've tried Autostream and nLite and both apps fail -either they error out or they hang. Is it possible to use another OEM WinXP CD to do the repair install and still keep my apps and device drivers. Thanks again, Jag |

Win XP SP3 - multiple errors system bootup
Is your (Defective) CD an OEM CD?
If so, is it a "generic OEM" or an OEM CD from Dell or other PC manufacturer? -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "jaggy" wrote in message ...

Using your slipstreamed XP CD, boot from the CD and follow all the instructions until you get to the point where Setup finds your current Windows installation. Just follow the instructions posted at one of the web sites below, read each of the steps carefully so you understand what you will be doing a step by step before you actually start the repair process.

You may need to re-install the device drivers or if you are moving to a new computer then have your drive disk ready as you will need to install the Chipset drivers, LAN, Sound any possibly others. Finally go to Windows Update site and install all the updates as they will need to be reinstalled. -- JShttp://www.pagestart.com "jaggy" wrote in message ...

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.
