BSOD - winsrv not found and other errors

Post by bosaap »

Hi Guys

Its been a while since i been here. But i hope you can assist me.
My wife's notebook keeps on giving BSOD. I will explain.
Last night her notebook kept on restarting with BSOD (but very fast without getting info). I did the halt on restart to see the problem. But every time I got a different error. But we finally got it working and started coping her files onto another computer.
It did not finish the transfer of files and restarted again with BSOD. I left it till tonight to sort, but this is the errors i got and the steps that i followed. But now I'm stuck and cant find any assistance on the web, thus why I'm back again.
Error 1 - Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE
I did what all the steps as explained by Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... s%3B307545.
Then I got the following:
Error 2 - STOP: c0000135 {Unable To Locate Component} This application has failed to start because winsrv was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
and nowhere can i find a solution to fix. All I find is cot to do with hardware that has been installed.
There is still some files that i need to copy before I can re-install her notebook.

The only thing we did before this started was the windows updates. There after we started having the problems.

I hope you can assist me.

Backup the data on the drive and reinstall Windows - it's not worth the hassle
