I simply receive a c:\ prompt there is no opting for an "installation

Thanks,

When you enter Recovery Console, do you receive the "1: C:\WINDOWS Which
Windows Installation would you like to log on to" prompt, or do you
simply
receive a C:\ prompt?

If you do receive the "Which Windows Installation....." prompt, and you
opt
for installation 1, at the C:\Windows prompt, key in:
cd system32
ENTER
Are you now at a C:\Windows\System32 prompt?

Hi Patti,

I copied your instructions and I received the message "Access Denied"

I really appreciate the help you have given and hope you are able to
offer more.

Hi Jennifer,

When you first chose the R option to enter Recovery Console, you
should have
then received a message regarding which Windows installation you want
to log
onto.....the message would look something like this:

1: C:\WINDOWS

Which Windows Installation would you like to log on to
(To cancel, press ENTER)?

If you are seeing option 1 for C:\WINDOWS, then it is definitely
seeing your
hard drive, as it recognizes the Windows installation.

Now, assuming that your CD/DVD drive is drive letter D, the command
to use
would look like this:

expand D:\i386\csrss.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe

Note the underscore at the end of the filename that you want expanded
from
the i386 folder (csrss.ex_ )....this needs to appear in the command,
not the
full file extension of EXE
Following the underscore, there is a space before
C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe

Hi Patti,

Thank you so much for responding. I have a feeling this is going to
work however....

I cannot find my hard drive. Would it still be called "C" even
though I
changed my boot sequence? When I run a "dir" on c I get nothing.

The command I used was d:\>expand [/d:I386\CSRSS.EXE]
[C:\WINDOWS\System32\] [/y]

Any advice as I am unfamiliar with using this console.

Thank you so much in advance I have been in tears since this
happened.

Hi Jennifer,

Boot into the Recovery Console and use the expand command in
order to expand
the csrss.ex_ file from the i386 directory on the install CD to
the
Windows\System32 directory on hard drive.

Here is an MSKB article that describes Recovery Console,
including how to
access it:

I knew I had downloaded some serious malware and purchased a

was left with Symantec and the removal software being unable to

a downloader virus at the subject directory. I was instructed
to
manually delete the file that was found....guess what (yes I
feel like
an idiot) the system wouldn't let me delete the file. So what
did the
"einstein" in me do? I renamed it to Csrss2....rebooted and got
the
blue screen of death:

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Session Manager
Initialization
system process terminated unexpectedly with status of
0xc0000034
(0x00000000 0x00000000). The system has been shut down.

Attempts to reinstall Windows XP from the cd are also failing
with
another error. Any advice to get me back up and running without
losing
my data?

I know I am asking a lot but you seem like a great group of
trouble-fixers.

TIA :-)
