Default 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the original OS disc is out of date since I've updated my system to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.

Finally go to Windows Update site and install all the updates as they will
need to be reinstalled.

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,

Default 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?

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

Create a Slip Stream version of Windows XP using
SP3http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/slipstream.htm (Using
AutoStreamer)http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstre...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
gohttp://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.

Finally go to Windows Update site and install all the updates as they will
need to be reinstalled.

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


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
