Thank You to everyone who tried to help me!!!
Okay.. so like what I've done is that I opened and check my "Folders Option"
in my control panel just to see if I have my "system32" hidden. GUESS
WHAT?!!!!! it was !!!!! hahahahah.. no wonder I couldn't see it. It wasn't
hidden before though so it's really weird. Maybe because of the Microsoft
updates? Who knows.
And to Clark ahhaaha.. YES YOU"RE RIGHT!! You can't delete Windows folders
its true. HEHEHE i thought I deleted it but I guess it didn't ... Wheeew!
Thank Goodness....
THANKS YOU GUYS AGAIN!!!!!!
BUt... I got another problem.
I can't seem to download my microsoft updates. I checked to see for the
updates how many MB it is... but it displays .. "0MB" Why is it zero????
Shouldn't there be 212MB for example? So, I'm not sure if that is the case on
why I can't seem to download the updates. Anyways, can anyone help me again??

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 !
Reading your post looks like *your pulling my leg* , but if you are legit
here are fixes...
#1 You can't Ping your System 32 folder
#2 I don't think you can delete it. it is a system folder and it is not
deletable in Windows.
First
*easiest fix*
Boot to the XP CD and select R (Recovery Console)
bootcfg/rebuild
a.. he first prompt asks Add installation to boot list? (Yes/No/All).
a.. Type Y in response to this question and press Enter.
a.. The next prompt asks you to Enter Load Identifier:.
a.. This is the name of the operating system. For example, type Windows XP
Professional or Windows XP Home Edition and press Enter.
a.. The final prompt asks you to Enter OS Load options:.
Type /Fastdetect here and press Enter.
a.. Take out the Windows XP CD, type exit and then press Enter to restart
your PC.
Assuming that a missing or corrupt boot.ini file was your only issue,
Windows XP should now start normally.
a.. Or
Boot to the XP CD and select R (Recovery Console)
run chkdsk /r from repair console booting from Windows CD
Or
Boot to the XP CD and select R (Recovery Console)
At the command prompt type:
ren c:\windows\system32\config\system system.old
copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config
Reboot
Let us know how it worked
