Solve : xp booting? |
|
Answer» awhile ago i installed a program that modify the xp booting picture but then i changed my mind and didnt change it but since then i get a MSG right after i start my windows with 2 options to run either xp or the new boot picture..ans also since then, i got folder system32 opening up whenever xp starts too..i need to change that back PLZ How to installi did uninstall the program but the problem still exist 1. Boot.ini File. Thank you for posting contents of your "boot.ini" file and link to Boot Editor program. The boot menu allows you to select one of two different "invocations" of your operating system. The first invocation, "Windows XP Home Edition", should start your system normally using the "Ntoskrnl.exe" core file. I wouldn't expect it to do anything strange, such as "folder system32 opening up whenever xp starts". What does this mean? Does a Windows Explorer window automatically appear with folder system32 open? If you manually select "Windows XP Home Edition" within the allowed three seconds (I'd set this to at least 30 seconds), does folder system32 still open up automatically? The second invocation, "OS for testing new boot screen", starts your system using the "NewBoot.exe" file. Many strange things could happen here. It depends upon what "NewBoot.exe" is programmed to do. What happens if you manually select this invocation of the operating system? Is this different than the first invocation? 2. Uninstall. Did you also delete its "programs" folder. If not, leave it there for now until you verify none of your "original" system files were backed up there. 3. The author of "Boot Editor" may be the only person who knows which of your "original" system files they modified, if any. You could try to email them, but the Boot Editor link you provided indicates LAST release of the program, version 1.0.1, was in 2004.yes system32 folder still open up automatically if i select either of the both options and no i didnt delete my programs folderso am still having the same problem..so sick of it..i think ive tried everything to fix and the last thing i would like to ask about that would it at least make the boot msg go away if i remove the line "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="OS for testing new boot screen" /fastdetect /KERNEL=NewBoot.exe" from the boot.ini file?!If you do a search on your machine for NewBoot.exe can you see which folder it is in? Can you post the folder PATH here? i did a complete search and nothing came out with that name save a copy of your boot.ini file to a safe spot just in case or even rename the one you have to something like boot.old.ini than edit the one you have to get rid of the last line.... multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="OS for testing new boot screen" /fastdetect /KERNEL=NewBoot.exe than save and close it you should a copy without the edit and than the new edited one. This way if something goes wrong you have a fall back.... when your done doing this reboot your machine. and post back what happens. In principle I do not bet - especially not on uncertainties, but would a system Restore undo the damage ? Regards Alan actually system restore have never worked for me...maybe i dont have enough memory i dont know..will fix that later but for now deleting that line out from my boot.ini file has worked and no msgs appears on windows start up but system32 folder still opens up when logging inthis should help with the system32 folder opening up.... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/170086 i read that article a 100 times now..no use..i dont have "ActiveMovie File Extensions" entry in my registry.. this is my registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "looks like |
