ET Warrior Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 The Wizard you're gonna run is going to put more than one file on your disk. IF Lexx can get you a list of all the files you need, then yes, you could copy them to a disk from DOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxStar Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 Yes I have XP, well... I had XP, I can't use it now. So does that mean i'm screwed? If you bought XP you probably have an XP disc or s system restore disc. Pop it in and watch the magic work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a system restore, then it'll just set your computer settings to how they were at some past time. Sometimes you'll lose a lot of files in a system restore...sometimes you dont.

Tyrion Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Yeah, you can pop the XP CD in to do a complete repair. Heck, I had to do this a few weeks ago(reminder kids, dont set LargeSystemCache to 1..it can possibly screw up your computer), even though I did end up formatting.. Anyway, personally, one of your best bets is to search for the sites on Google. I found a few there that were pretty helpful, but I forgot the names of the sites. By the way, if you think it's a virus you could pop in the Norton Systemworks CD if you have it, it can scan for viri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 but don't I want to copy them to System32? You need to get this file into your c:\windows\system32 directory. The commands to do this with dos are: If you are booting from a floppy - copy ntoskrnl.exe c:\windows\system32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZBomber Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Same thing happened to me in the summer. Worst feeling n the world...... I got a little pop up that wanted me to log in. I kept pressing cancel, eventually got logged into an account, got into stylexp and burned up that bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Yeah could be a virus that came with the file you downloaded or there was some spyware in the link, did you try doing a scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Kinda tough to do a scan when he can't get into windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper Girl Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I did something dumb like this last year... ...i inherited my aunt's seven (yesh, 7) year-old laptop. I was SUPPOSED to use it only for typing, but you know...I wanted to make room for some old DOS games... ...I deleted NortonAntiVirus(instead of uninstalling it) and some how deleted SYSTEM.INI.... Jesus....H...Christ... ...the thing acted possesed...restarting randomly and crashing..and...and... :compcry: Fortunately for me, my dad was able to make it stable (eneogh) again for typing, but never for games or anything requiring more then only a bit of memory use... ...now I have a new "typing" computer. I had CMI and EFMI and GhostMaster on it, but smart man, my dad, he took them off after Xmas break...*sobs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivy Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 you can start windows in safe mode by pressing the F7 key (or maybe F5?? can;t remember which) at start-up. then once in safe mode you can replace the corrupted boot screen files with the original ones from the XP CD. when replacing the start-up/ shut-down screens, you should always back-up the originals just in case.

Datheus Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I had a nightmare last night that I did the same thing to my computer. Seriously. But yeah, were you able to get as far as the Windows boot options to choose "Last Known Good"? Even then I think you'd be able to replace whatever file it is that boot screens edit...

Yeah, good ole safe mode, I was just about to suggest that! then you can uninstall that damn program. I did, I'll stick with my plain ole silver scheme and be done with it too. HOWEVER, before you uninstall style XP, make sure you go into it and set it back to "default" this should put back your proper screens.... hope that works for you man !
