When trying to start the computor it goes to the blue
screen and says that the winserv file is missing or
corrupt. It also says that by reloading the disk it may
take care of the problem. It will not allow the disk to
reload. This is a dell system and has no floppy disk
drive. It will not allow you to enter set-up so that you
can start in safe mode. Anyone have any comments?
Thanks
 
That error means the 'winsrv.dat' or 'winsrv.dll' file is missing or
corrupt in the Windows\System32 folder, or more likely that
the registry is corrupt.
