Re: Need XP Help

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Try booting and selecting the Last Known Good Configuration option.

How to start your computer by using the Last Known Good Configuration
feature in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307852

If that works try using System Restore to restore the system to a point
before the problem arose.

Then take note of the contents of this link:

Check whether your household contents insurance policy cover this risk?

Hope this helps.

OK, I'll go into more detail.

When i turn it on and let it run it says this:

Windows could not start because of an error in the software.
Please rport this problem as:
load need DLLs for Kernal


And when I press F8 to start my system Recovery it says this:

INF file textsetup.sif is corrupt or missing, status 30?
Press any key to continue.

Thats all the detail I have, I am currently on an old computer that is crap
and I wouldm love to be able to fix my new one, I mean I only had the thing
for a little over a month before this happened.
