Answer» It's probably Windows XP on one CD and SP 1 or 2 on CD 2.. I have that as well, except that mine are copies. So we 'll never know I suppose. You say that when you go to Run and type msconfig you get an error. I was under the impression that you lost the RUN prompt? Well either way applying the NoRun fix won't hurt anything. About the reg file, it sounds like it is still a txt file. You probably have Windows set to hide file extensions for known file types, which means it's probably actually named fix.reg.txt. You can open any folder and go to Tools > Folder Options > View and UNcheck "Hide extensions for known file types" then click Apply. Then you can make sure it is actually named fix.reg it should look like this if reg files are correctly associated: Well....Some things have returned to normal since the begining of this thread. Like the "Run" prompt. It's there, but can't find msconfig. I assume that some things were fixed while running all the cleaners provided by the kind members here at CHF. Quote it sounds like it is still a txt fileYes it is. And no matter what I do....I can't change it. Quote You probably have Windows set to hide file extensions for known file types No. I thought of that. But my folder options aren't set up that way. And... the zip file you provided extracts as a text file too. I'm stumped, I tells ya. And Patio. It is a legal copy of XP PRO. I'm not sure what else I can do to prove it, so I won't bother. Actualy...I'll go one step further to prove it. And that's only because you are trying to make me out to be liar. Here's what ya do. Send an email to MEEC Enterprise. (Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium) Ask them if they sell XP pro to their students, for campus use only. Ask them how much they charge for the disks, how many disks are supplied, and what they look like. If ya don't want to do that...I'll take Levi FTW!!! lol I'm kidding dude. Still...You check it out for your peace of mind. Can you open regedit?By no means was i trying to make you out a liar...FAR from it. If you knew how many issues we have stumbled through here with people who are not legit you would understand my trepidation... As to your listed copy of XP i'm glad it is what you say it is. I cannot keep track of every University issued copy of XP and remember what they in fact look like... Any offense taken comes with my apologies. Carry on. patio. 8-) Quote Can you open regedit? Yes. regedit opened fine from the run prompt. What should I do with it? Patio: [smiley=beer.gif] OK, open regedit and go to File > Import Change the "Files of Type" to "All Files" then scroll to the reg file I attached earlier and open it. It should still import anyway even if it's a txt file as LONG as all the text is still there. If it says it successfully imported then reboot and see if msconfig, right-click etc. is working.Well....You F'n rock dude. Everything has returned to normal. Thanks sooooooo much for your help. And to think....I was so close to giving up. Again...thank you so much. You really know your stuff. And... thanks to the other members, kind enough to give me a hand. Oh...incase you can't tell...I'm doing a happy dance. Great! You're welcome Levi. I'm glad things are back to normal now. Your reg file associations are still messed up though if they are still showing as txt files. Let me know if that is the case and we'll fix that too. - JPHHmm. Yeah, they are still showing as txt files.OK, I've attached a fix. Just import it the same way you did the last one.JPH where did you learn this stuff?? Quote JPH where did you learn this stuff??--> www.vmodeling.com Quote OK, I've attached a fix. Just import it the same way you did the last one. Awesome dude.....You did it. Thanks again, mang. You rock. [smiley=beer.gif] Quote QuoteJPH where did you learn this stuff??--> www.vmodeling.com lol Quote Awesome dude.....You did it. Thanks again, mang. You rock. [smiley=beer.gif]Great, you're welcome. Now that you're back to normal you might want to set a new system restore point. [smiley=beer.gif] unlovedwarrior: [smiley=grin.gif] |
