i am wondering if anyone can tell me what can i do to fix
my computer ....

the thing is when i try to start my computer the screen
says that there is a file thats missing from the windows
folder and it tells me to re install the software but i
dont have the cd or anything because i paid someone
install it for me and i guess he kept it and now i need to
know what to do, do i buy another cd from microsoft (if i
do where can i buy it), or do i something else
 
Hi

Which file in particular is missing? Yes, you may have to purchase an XP CD, unless you get the original from the person who installed XP for you.
 
"i paid someone install it for me"
Contact the seller, yhey should have provided it to you.

Or possibly he sold you a stolen license, not to uncommon:

If you do not have a legal license, you need to buy Windows.
Windows XP can be bout at any software store as well as many major
retailers.
 
You can Get Windows XP Media also.

the file thats missing is:

windows\system32\config\system

fine but it suddenly tells me that (windows\system32
\config\system )is corrupt or missing and it tell me that
i should use the install cd, press r and go on from there

Hi

The following article should help you, but as you haven't got an XP CD you will need to access the Recovery Console with 6 floppy disks:
