Just getting a stop error whenever I turn on my machine.

Asked By ChalmersChalmers 0 points N/A Posted on - 01/06/2012

I tried repairing some issues with my video card and used methods that I have acquired from searching the internet. Apparently, it worsened the situation because now I am just getting a stop error whenever I turn on my machine. I ran the troubleshoot program and it indicated that I do not have a video card, could the video card be broken or should I just remove and restore the program again?

Just getting a stop error whenever I turn on my machine.

This can be caused if your Device drive has been corrupted or missing. You may try to Use the Recovery CD to replace the corrupted or missing driver files. This can be done by following the steps below:

• Insert the Windows Recovery CD and restart your Computer. Make sure to start the computer using the CD/DVD drive.
• Press R to start Recovery Console.
• Administrator password may be asked if this is how it is setup.
• Type the following command cd windowssystem32drivers  > then press ENTER.
• Rename the damaged driver by typing the following command run drivername.sys drivername.bak (drivername refers to the damaged driver file) then press ENTER.
• Type the following command copy cd-rom:i386 drivername (cd-rom is the Drive letter of your CD/DVD ROM that contains the Windows XP CD-ROM > then press ENTER.
• Type exit, press ENTER, and then restart the computer.
