windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
\WINDOW\system32\config\SYSTEM
PLEASE Does anyone know what causes this problem and HOW TO PREVENT IT???
I have had it happen TWICE in the LAST TWO MONTHS.
I tried following all the stuff in the various Microsoft knowlege base
articles about this but none of it works. Apparently my system becomes so
corrupted that none of microsoft lengthy procedures work (backing up
/restoring behives ettc). I end up having to call Dell and reload
everything from scratch. It takes me days to get my data restored and all
my programs re-loaded and I lost all my emai as I had not backed it up
recently. I had no problem for three years and all of a sudden in the last
two months it's happend twice.
I don't understand why it's happening. I had both Norton Internet Security
2007 and Webroot Spysweeper installed so I don't know what the heck is
causing this corruption. I'm terrified of this happening again. As I said
it takes days on end to get my system back to where it was. This last time
I did not reinstall Webroot as I wondered if the Norton and Webroot were in
conflict as sometimes Webroot Spysweeper would jump in and try to give me
warnings about something Norton was doing. Just a real wild guess on my
part.
You don't even know anything is wrong as the system shuts down ok and the
next time you go to boot up you're dead in the water.
Could it be hardware issues that need to be replace???
Again if anyone can tell me what is causing this AND HOW TO PREVENT IT,
PLEASE PLEASE let me know. I'm so afraid of it happening again as it's
happen twice in the last 2 months.
