Hello everyone from Jim in Northern Ireland,
I've got a major PC problem that I hope someone can help with.
I start up and get this message;'Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM'.
I reload my XP disc and reinstall but 2 days later it happens again. This is happening on 2 different PC's in my home, the only common bond is the DSL modem. I have scanned for viruses etc and they're clean. Any ideas?

Welcome to PCHF Jim.

That's quite a nasty one I'm afraid and it's going to require you to work through a lengthy solution here: http://kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_sys32.htm
