How can I repair WINDOWS Xp without reinstalling the entire operating system?????!!!!
Okay, i was doing some computer cleaning, deleting junk files, uninstalling, etc… then when i restarted my computer, my operating system, windows xp media center, the whole interface was lost. in other words, i cant see my desktop start menu, everything was reseted as if it was in safe mode and the whole GUI, graphical user interface stopped working. SO i cant copy my files or other things that i want to save before i would install the whole operating system all over again. SO BASICALLY I THINK THAT THERE IS A REGISTRY ERROR OF SOME KIND AND I CANT CLICK, COPY, CUT, ERASE, OR ANYTHING, NOT EVEN START ETC. How can i repair the system, i already tried system restore but it gives me an error that it is corrupted. I think of either using recovey console in windows when ou boot it up, BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE THAT!!! PLEASE HELP !!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi!

I recently had a problem with my computer registry. Every time I would turn it on I would get the \windows\System32\Config\System corrup or missing. So I followed the guidelines in the microsoft help guide on how to solve it.

Problem is I deleted the bakup files created at the beginning of this procedure to recover my registry. The computer works fine but it went back to default so most the programs I had installed and the folders I had created are gone.

Is there a way to recover the following files?

\windows\system32\config\system
\windows\system32\config\software
\windows\system32\config\sam
\windows\system32\config\security
\windows\system32\config\default

I know the repair has the default ones which I used to recover but since I deleted these files I had previously to my defaults I don’t know if there is any folder where this files could also be copied.

Any idea as to what should I do to recover them? Thanx!
