XP PRO Repair

[Guest]

I have the full version of XP PRO but lost my Win Find/Search. Norton
WinDoctor found I am missing file "C:\WINDOWS\System32\MAPISRVR.EXE." cannot
access a necessary file "gapi32.dll". I can't boot up from the XP PRO CD with
the CD in either the CDROM or DVD tray. I also can't install/repair when
thePC is running since I am running a newer version than the CD (SP2 etc).
Suggestions would be welcomed!

Mike, is your cdrom drive set as first boot device in Bios? Check at
Kelly's http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm Select S and scroll
to Search Don't Work.

Also, check here. Scroll down to Bert's post

Uninstall Norton. Worthless crap.

You have to go into the BIOS and set you boot order so that it checks
your CD-ROM before it checks your harddrive to boot.

Thanks. I changed the Bios to boot from the cdrom. Now it boots up frpm the
CD, I use "R" & enter for repair, I add my admin password & get to the C:
prompt; what next?!

You hit the "R" at the wrong time. Start again using these
instructions:

Sorry for the other reply. I just read Bert's post and copied & pasted
gapi32.dll where it should be. I'll be restarting right now. Thanks!

Yeah, Mike should get paid by Microsoft for his Repair Install
Instructions, as it is one of the most given out links in this group.

Yeah, but Mike's instructions are in English, not techno-babble.

True, but in these days of government schooling, M-TV, IM
and chat, reading comprehension is very low.
