Wow this is confusing as hell, well its hidden and i go into windows explorer and find where it says to show hidden files and folders, and guess what? its already hit but this folder remains hidden...

 

[weltall]

i think i may have figured this all out...i will restart and see what hpapens ^^

 

[weltall]

well i havnt, i found the folder, but the smss.exe file is missing, however it shows it in task manager, just not in the folder that aparantly my computer wants it in

 

[weltall]

but i guess there IS an smss file in there...but what i dont get is why would it not be it? this is all very confusing if anyone can shed light on this please do so

 

[weltall]

all right its there. but when i log on it says its not. no clue why it says that at all but i can find it and just see its there so yeah im compeletly lost and about ready to give up, maybe do the uninstall and reinstall but no clue

 

[weltall]

Well do what i suggested re-install you would have finished by now

 

[weltall]

your talking about reinstalling everything on the computer? that would have taken at least a full day

No try a repair first if that wont work then do a re-install
I can do a complete re-install in a few hours but a novice would take a lot longer the advantage of a full install is you only put in what you really need to.

You have got the drive set up with several partitions haven't you.

C for XP os
D and E etc for pics and music etc.

That way you only need to install XP and your applications. Install the applications as you go along and it won't be too painfull.

 

[weltall]

ok, also wait where would i go to repair/reinstall windows? i checked control pannel, but couldnt find it

 

[weltall]

anyone?

 

[itsme]

Its not in the control panel you have to have the CD
You have got the XP CD?
And code?

If so I will give you step by step guide.


So be prepared....

 

[weltall]

maybe, but im not sure, ill have to look around

Without the CD code you aint going to do it exept buy another OS

 

[weltall]
