Windows XP Home will not boot

[Terry]

Can someone help me with this problem? I'm getting an error that basecatw32
is missing on boot after the Windows logo scrolls across. I've searched for
this file but I can find no information on what application this file is
associated with.

Thanks,

Sorry, the name of the file is basegutc32
Error message reads:
Stop: c0000135 (unable to locate component)
The application failed to start because basegutc32 was not found.

Thanks,

This app will locate the unneeded startup command, and have a checkbox to
uncheck for removing it.

Mark,
That's a useful application however, it does me no good because the PC will
not boot past the blue screen.

Nope been there done that. I did pull the drive and slaved it over to
another box and ran antivirus on it...found several viruses...but still will
not boot. Looks like a rebuild.
