[boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /kernel=ntoskrnl.exe multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /kernel=works.exe The 1st line the original, the 2nd is the one I extracted from the Win XP CD The 2nd line did not work and give me a blue screen

I'm still having this problem since I wanted to upgrade to SP2.. my ntoskrnl.exe is changed.. I've extracted the same file from the original Win XP CD but still got the same error. BTW, the Windows I installed is a MSDN type of file. Could this be one of the problem? Is there any other way to upgrade my windows? Thanks.. Roger,

My sister left the pc on with her documents unsaved, then a person jump unto the pc and restarted it. Now the documents which is alot unsaved is gone. Is there anyway to recover 'em? Thanks, Roger

Hi all, My pc is a single user pc. In C:\Documents and Settings there are 5 folders that is Administrator Administrator.[myname] All Users Default User.WINDOWS [myname] In System properties>User Profiles I have 2 profiles. One is my personal and the other is administrator. Do I need the administator or should I delete it? I also have one more question to ask here instead of opening a new thread for this. When I boot and reach the login screen, it takes very long to load since I've configured the services.msc to Super Tweak as described in BlackViper's services guide. I went through it and found nothing relevant to it. Any idea which service is needed for the login screen. Info=*I do not need to type my password at login *I've changed my login screen. Thanks! Roger,

Do it again in safe mode, after clearing out the folder "C:\windows\system32\dllcache". You would then be able to get back to using the standard kernel. After that, you will not have any more error boxes saying that "your kernel is not Microsoft-signed, therefore we don't want to upgrade/fiddle with it" when installing SP2 or any other update. Your product key being legit or not is not relevant in this case. If you really hate your boot-screen so much, why not use something like Style XP to modify it? I don't have the dllcache in my C:\windows directory.. What should i do know.. it's not that I hate my XP boot screen. I had my boot screen modified, now even when I got the 'original' one, I still can't get to update windows. Maybe did I disable some services required for updating windows? . My setting is almost Super Tweak as Black Viper's configuration.

Hi all, Before this, I reinstalled windows to get the original ntoskrnl.exe file into my windows folder since I've changed it and have no back up for it. I've tried getting the ntoskrnl.exe from the CD to my pc using command prompt, I still get the same error while trying to install XP SP2. Can someone help me why am I still getting the same error even though I've reinstalled windows XP? Please reply. Thanks. I have Win XP Pro Corp SP1.

No it isn't upgrade. If it is then my programs would function normally. Here's again what I did, I inserted Win XP Pro Corp SP1 then chose install fresh new windows without formatting. So what they did was to remove previous windows and install windows XP.. I guess the old registry is gone too....

Yup, I'll do that next time.. BTW, I didn't reformat, at 1st I repair the Windows using Win XP Pro CD. After I did that I couldn't create a new connection to the internet, dont know why. So I decided to uninstall windows and reinstall. Do u know where in the registry can I get em?

Hi all, Sorry I dont know what is the right word to use besides 'associate'. Here goes my problem... Recently I've edited my kernal wrongly, so when I on the pc I get the blue screen after OS logo. I had no choise but to uninstall and reinstall windows. Now my C:\Program Files aren't 'known' by windows for example I can't open the programs and I have to reinstall them one by one. Any idea where is the infomation about the programs installed on windows? or I've deleted it? Any other suggestion? Thanks

I've done it.. cool.. Thanks MCT!

btw it's 948kb file, half the size of the original. is this right?

MCT, I've found it the file in CD But that command did not work I typed C:\Documents and Settings\myname>%userprofile%\Desktop\NTOSKRNL.EX_" "%userprofile%\Desktop\NTOSKRNL.exe came up: 'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file What's the problem?

Hi all, I've changed my ntoskrnl.exe file long ago and I've no backup of the original for it. Now when I try to install the Win XP SP2 Build 2162 it says my ntoskrnl.exe is changed and it's needed to run that installation. Is there anyway I can download/repair the file? Please help. I have: Win XP Pro Corp SP1 Thanks, Roger

I cant access any antivirus software company homepage. e.g http://www.symantec, http://www.mcafee.com. I cant access the homepage for that 2 and others. Why am I having thsi weird problem?

Thanks XMac, I was actually asking more to the question why prog loads to taskbar seems to take a lot of mem usage but if lauched the window it self not to taskbar and then close it to taskbar, the mem usage will go down. I dont understand why is this the fact? Is the any updates/fix/tweak should I do?

http://www.anti-virus-software-review.com/ Is thsi true? BitDefender and PC-cillin best? I'm using/trying BD now. It seems to take a lot of resources . Can't afford to have BD. I think I'm gonna switch. What do u think of the test results? Do u agree? Roger

I dont really kindda get what u mean Datalore, sorry. IS tehre any possiblity to like make the window open automaticaly then close for the reason? How do I save unused RAM?? BTW, my explorer.exe is taking up 27MB of RAM . My programs r taking so much resources. WHy?

Can anyone answer me? OK, I'll make it simplier. When my friend uses my username and password for him/her to connect to the internet, will the bill charges goes to him/her or to me? TQ!!

My ISP has a service called Streamyx. I can use it for unlimited hours on a broadband DSL. My friend needs my username and password to connect to his internet. Should I do so? Will it cause any effects to me or my friend? Thanks, Roger

When a program loads at startup it uses much resources e.g 15MB. Then when I open it and minimize to taskbar it goes straight to about 2MB of mem usage. This happen to programs that start minimized to taskbar e.g my Agnitium firewall, MSN Messengerand AVG Anti-V software. Why is this? Can someone psl explaint o me and help solve . Thanks!
