A bad sector on my drive caused BSOD & forced me to do a repair install on
WinXP last night. Now I can start Windows but it takes longer than usual, and
all my dialup connections stopped working. I tried working through the MS
Knowledgebase troubleshooter on this problem
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825826&Product=winxp) and I'm stuck on step 5:
When I tried to add the TCP/IP services component from the Setup disk, I got
the following error:
Subcomponent COM+ raised an exception while processing the
OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION
setup message ... Error Code 0x8007007f
The specified procedure could not be found.
Failed to load the library 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\catsrv.dll'
This file is present and I Comp'ed it with a copy from another machine
running XP and it is fine.
But when I try to load it using regsvr32, I get:
LoadLibrary("catsrv.dll" failed - The specified procedure could not be
found.
I suspect this is a SP2 file which isn't present on my pre SP1 Setup CD, but
is being looked for on the CD. I'm caught in a chicken/egg loop, I can't
reinstall SP2 from MS via dialup, since I can't dialup, period. I've had no
luck with the MS KB or even Google on this issue, thought I'd ask here.
Appreciate any help that will save me from doing a clean reformat & install,
which I'm trying to avoid.
