   You will need your windows disc for this procedure to enter Windows Recovery Console.

   1. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer. Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted;

   2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.

   3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you must access from the Recovery Console. This is usually "C Windows" and you would simply press the number 1;

   4. When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press "Enter". when typing the commands do not use the quotation marks;

   5. At the command prompt, type "cd system32" > press "Enter";

   6. Type "ren kernel32.dll kernel32.old" > press "Enter";

   7. Type "map" > press "Enter";

   8. Type "expand x:\i386\kernel32.dl_" > press enter; (Note that x represents the drive letter of your cd rom device. Your cd rom device will most likely be a different letter. Simply substitute the correct letter for your drive).

   9. Type "exit" > press "Enter".

   10. Reboot your computer.
