ok bad registry problems

I just had to add two keys to the reg. one for help and the other for msconfig.

I found that I am missing files including:

• all the jpg gif png bmp etc
• scanreg.exe and scanregw.exe
• who knows what else

Does anyone know of a way to repair the reg, and missing files without entering xp setup??

I do have the disk and will use it if i have to.


FYI = I just re-installed windows.

Click \start\run\then type in or paste in

sfc /scannow


You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to run sfc.

If sfc discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder, and then replaces the incorrect file.

went kinda quick (5-7 sec) ok, here it is, I reinstalled xp, came across a prob when i clicked start, help. no help avail. gave me error, so i entered reg entry for that. MSCONFIG same Now, I seem to be missing loads of files related to the os. first of all start> all pro's > accessories > system tools only has 3 entries no administrative tools anywhere. also, all the pics for the os i had to expand from the disk. Were not on the hd. (now they are in c:\ huh) I cannot install any microsoft updates, it dont even download them

ok archive or del this one, i just did a re-install…. worked.

hmmmm

go ahead and archive this one, I got it fixxed
