Re: System32 folder is missing!

Hanna

What is your computer make and model? Is it a laptop or desktop? How old
is it?

What is your position regarding a Windows XP CD? Does the CD include
SP2?

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

I am having a really big problem with my windows. Okay so here is what
happened I was having problems accessing websites telling me "error
page cannot be displayed etc.." so then I went here ..
"http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326155"; and hoping it would resolve
the issue that I'm having. To my disappointmet it did not work... :(

So then I tried to talk to Comcast Customer Service about my issue
and they did some "ping" here and there, and when they told me to
"ping" my system32, cd, etc.. It wouldn't do it... A message will pop
up saying .. "Not a valid Win32 application". That's when they told
me that System32 is required and that I need to talk to Microsoft
about it.

Yea... I think I accidentally deleted the System32 folder thinking
that I had a virus in it so decided to delete ALL files... I didn't
know :(


So if anyone in here can help me I would GREAAATLY appreciate you for
taking your time and trying to help. PLEASE PLEASEEE !
