The last thing I remember doing is removing old winamp versio 2 something and isntalling version 3. Then all of a sudden my computer just restarted......after i had used winamp 3 a bit (but i dont think winamp has anything to do with this because it has happened once before). So then when it starts up, before i can even get the xp loading screen, i get a message that tells me that the following file is corrupt: C:\windows\system32\config\system
I think OH CRAP.........so I start the computer with the XP installation disk and go into repair mode.....i thought it would actually repair it instead of giving me a dos prompt (silly me....like microsoft actually made some useful tool to help those crashes that millions of us get). Anyway i found an old system file from the C:\windows\repair\ folder and copied the old corrupted one to my D: drive and replaced. Windows started and everything but the old one was 6MB and the new one is 2MB.....also norton antivirus doesn't start properly at startup....or cpu idle.....or something called elbyCheck..........WHAT HAVE I LOST.....WHAT DOES the system file do?? Is there anyway to recover it??? HELP PLEASE!
