"Stop: 00000135 {unable to locate component}
This application has failed to start because STREAM.sys is not found. Re-installing
this application may fix this problem."
hello,
i've looked all over the internet and have tried many suggested solutions, but i
still haven't been able to fix my computer's stop error issue.
i have a dell computer running Win XP home edition with SP2.
Cause:
sp3 was installed by accident and i've been getting the blue screen at boot up ever
since (the initial stop error was a "stop 0x0000007b.."; after physically taking
my hard drive out for back up and putting back into the machine, the stop error became,
"stop c0000135..")
Here are the things i've done:
1) backed up files (through physical removal/remounting of the hard drive)
2) booted from win xp reinstallation cd (provided by Dell)
- tried "set up winxp" option (repair/install win)
result: got stop c00000135 error after all the scanning/repair/reboot
- tried recovery console option (C: ATTRIB -H C:\\boot.ini
C:ATTRIB -S C:\\boot.ini
C:ATRIB -R C:\\boot.ini
C: del boot.ini
C: BOOTCFG /Rebuild
C: CHKDSK /R /F
C: FIXBOOT )
result: commands were successful, no interruptions. but after rebooting the machine
(with the cd taken out), i am still back to stop c00000135 error upon reboot.
do you have any ideas about resolving this problem?
thanks for reading my post!
