Now, I cannot do anything and even the windows XP installation cd is not helping. The screen says:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt.
\Windows\system32\config\system
You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows set up using the original CD-ROM.
Seklect 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
I have a Copaq MV540 and it did not come with a CD, it was all loaded on there already but I did try to use my brother in laws XP cd and the same thing keeps coming up on my screen. The wierd thing is that when I had backdated it, it worked fine....then when I downloaded that update which just automatically came up down there by my clock... it does not work anymore....
Any suggestions besides buying a new computer? I can use the recovery CD and everything its just that I am not wanting to loose all of my pictures that I have not copied.....
