When I turn my computer on the following message comes up:

"Windows could not start because the following file is
missing or corrupt: \Windows\System32\Config\System"

I am running Windows XP Home Eddition. Usually I can hit
the enter button 4-12 times and it will finally start. I
don't know of anything I installed or uninstalled that
would have caused this problem.

Can anyone help?
