Hi,
A friend was over "upgrading" my computer, made some changes to the
registry and now I cannot get my computer to work. I thought I was
being smart and made a backup of my old registry (exported it to a
file on my desktop). However, I cannot even get Windows to start so I
can make the necessary changes. I am running Windows XP Pro that came
with my computer. So I don't have a Windows XP disc. The only disc I
have with Windows XP on it is the system recover disc that will format
my C: . Is there any way to edit the new registry back to the old one
without being able to start Win XP?
Here's what happens when I turn my computer on:
I get the normal screen "Windows XP Professional" and it looks like
everything is fine. Then it hangs there for a minute and a blue
screen flashes on for a second, goes black and then the Win XP screen
comes back on. This will continue to repeat if I don't turn off the
power. (Note: The blue screen says:
c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly
with a status of 0x00000403 (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.)
The only reason I know it says this is because I recorded it using my
camcorder because it was on the screen for only a split second. If
anybody has any suggestions on what I should do to fix the problem,
I'd greatly appreaciate it. Thanks!
