Hi,
Do you mean this error message:
"Corrupted or missing C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"
Here are some info and solutions you may need your XP CD installation media
to accomplish some operations to recover your system:

Why? They are directed towards finding a solution to the problem the OP
has. It is an indicator that I am offering assistance not seeking help.

Are we to assume that you are always Grumpy just because you choose that
alias as part of your name and rarely say anything positive?

I always assumed that he's naturally grumpy, and honest enough to admit it.

It does make one wonder Gary why some comments get made. I cannot see
how I choose to sign my posts really raises any earth shattering issues?

Grumpy brings to mind a line spoken by Donald Sutherland in Kelly's
Heroes "You gotta think positive"!
