Recently I have been getting funny error end task messages related to the Dr.Watson Debugger, When I would upload pictures from my digital camra and the folder was in thumbnail view windows explorer.exe would crash on me so I had to do a new task to restart it. as long as It was not in thumbnail view it would work perfectly fine...

I got mad at this debuger and kept seeing many of its processes runnign, not knowing what it is or does I searched it and deleted everything with the name of the program, (like 2 or three files including the exe)

Later I turned off my PC and now I get the

C000021A Fatal System Error With the Status of 0xC0000034. I cannot log past the windows XP loading screen. I dont know how to get to the comand prompt either. Please help me!!! Is it because of the exe I deleted???

Never do that. Dr. Watson is, as far as I know, a critical Windows application. If you ever wonder what a program does, go to ProcessLibrary.com - The online resource for process information! and if it doesn't show there, ask here! I'll be right back with a solution.

Get your Windows XP CD and insert it into the CD drive; boot from the CD. What you want to do is look for an option for a repair installation of Windows, so it will fix up what you've done and not damage your personal files.

If this ever happens again, fo this:
1) Put your XP CD into the drive
2) Click on the Start button, then "Run"
3) In the "Run" box just type sfc /scannow - and then press enter

Don't do any of this just yet, there may be an easier way. Wait for one of the techs to post and you may save yourself some hassle.

Wow thats all?? Thanks alot..........Sadly I dont have a Windows XP Disk, is there a way I can make a bootable ISO that will correct this specific issue? Or do I need to buy a CD?

Thanks for that link Rodents210

Hello Pillsburnty, and welcome to the forum.
If you dont have your recycle bin set to auto delete, go there and try to restore the files, or undo delete. You can also try system restore back to an earlier time. If not, a repair install as suggested above will do it, and shouldnt damage any of your programs or files/ folders. But its always a good idea to back up or at least copy all your data that you dont want to lose before atempting any kind of repair. The repair install usually works without problems, but its not guranteed. Heres a guide for that:
Windows XP Professional (Pro) Repair Guide
Some of the Guru`s may have a better/quicker fix, but the repair install is fairly simple and usually works without problems.

Ok, I got an XP CD from my friend, it says....................

"Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer
Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer,
and that any disk-related hardware config is correct. This may involved running a manufacturer supplied diagonistic or set up program"

Set up cannot continue. To quit press F3.


WHAT THE HECK!?!?!

I went to repair using the XP CD as well..



When I do a Diagnostic on my PC I dont get any erros at all!! It says everything is ok =(
