Hi,
I have an oddball problem. One of the people that I provide support for had
a problem with their XP pro.
Somehow or another, the 'system' file for the registry became corrupted. It
may have been caused by a power outage ? But anyway, upon bootup it would
give the error that '...\system was missing or corrupt'.
I ruled out a memory issue as it failed with the same file each time. In my
experience, if it was a problem with RAM, it would be a different file each
time. So following M$ suggestion's, I did a repair booting from the XP cd.
The PC now boot's and comes to a login screen. It think's that it's part of
a domain now, but it's not, it was in a workgroup. Logon is not possible
because it can't contact a domain controller. There is no option available
to logon on to 'This Computer'.
The only user available is the Administrator account and the local account
appears to have a blank password, but then it tries to authenticate with a
domain controller.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
DS
