Hello! I just want to know how to manually disable CHKDSK from running upon startup? I know this command scan  and repair my hard drive for any possible errors. But this is totally disturbing if it stuck whenever I open my computer. I never been delinquent when in terms of taking care of my personal things, my computer never had any problem for the past years. Although sometimes some of my programs hangs without knowing what causing it to stop. But I do manual scanning for viruses each and every time. I open my computer, so I don't really know what's interrupting my system to run like this. I never had any computer crashes moment and all my softwares and drivers are up to date.

What would be the reason why laptop boot-up and run so slow? Can someone out there elaborate me all the possible cause why my laptop boot-up and run slow? Does it have something to do with the computer specification? It took almost 1 minute before it completes the boot-up process.

Hi am looking for someone who could help me to a set password for folders on my computer.

Hi,

I encountered this issue when I finished rebooting the computer.

The old operating system that has been installed was Windows 98, and I installed a new Windows XP but when I start the computer after rebooting the computer, the flash message on the screen remains as "Missing operating system" .

I checked the boot devices, and it is placed correctly. I restarted the computer again but still the issue came out. I reinstalled the operating system, and it normally run, and loads the OS. Turned the computer on and waited for a couple of minutes, but then again the issue still lingers.

Can anyone help me with this?

Last night, I was so busy doing some research for my research study when my PC rebooted and restarted by its own. It was almost done in the booting process when it hanged-up and the following error:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: /windows/system32/config/system

You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM

Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.

Hi my windows XP computer says that the Win 32 application has failed to start and I face serious issue with my computer like it hangs .Becomes very slow at times when I open multiple applications and its totally weird to work with my computer with this trouble popping out every time .

I have also tried to clean up the virus using PC Clean Up software so  hope that this problem may not be because of virus and I have also made sure that this problem did not arise after installing any recent software by removing them. From my side I have done all possible troubleshooting to fix this problem .But still no go .

Can anyone help me please

Hi,

 I am always use windows xp to work in my computer. Recently I decided to use Windows Server 2003, so I have back up my all hard disk all data from windows xp. When I use windows xp I use Gmail in my outlook express. Some of friend tells that Microsoft out look is better for mail. So when I installed Windows Server 2003 I installed Microsoft office 2003, now I need to configure my Gmail in ms outlook, I want to collect my mail from when I use windows xp and use outlook express.

Upon opening my computer, I could not even reach windows because of an error like this,

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

First of all, I am not a geek when in terms of computers, I don't even know what is NTOSKRNL.exe. And I didn't do anything on my machine to make it stop from working. I searched on different sites and found out some of the possible causes of this errors are, a corrupted boot.ini file, keyboard problems, miscellaneous corruption or can even be a corrupted hard disk drive.

How will I run hard drive corruption to scan on XP?

When I did update to my computer such as anti-virus updates and others, the electric power suddenly shut off. After that, the electric power comes back and then I turned my computer immediately. But when my computer opens it just display a blue screen and it says that the hard drive was corrupted and I should scan it.

Or disable my antivirus protection of my computer. I did the instruction that the computer told me to do but nothing happens. How will it help the computer? And how will I do that?
