Backup (copy) the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (most likely C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe - the boot screen) 2. Download the .zip to your computer 3. Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 (most likely C:\windows\system32) 4. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode (hit F8 before the boot screen) or into true DOS (from a boot disk) 5. Overwrite the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (which should have been backed up) with the extracted exe 6. Reboot your computer as you normally would |

There are only 6 easy to follow steps but as it says it is a fix. This does work because i have tried it out and thats why i wrote it for all to see :)
You will be supprised at how many people have problems like this which sadly leads to formatting and then reinstalling XP :cry: If i knew i was going to reformat i would be happy to try this out first as it will save a lot of time 8) |
