roger04 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 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.

MCT Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 u should have just continued posting in your other thread u had going, since its the same problembut, did u try it without sp1 ? sp2 isnt finalized yet (although its really close) that maybe a bug... also is your cd key legit?regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I've tried getting the ntoskrnl.exe from the CD to my pc using command promptDo 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?

MCT Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 or even bootskin (from stardock) it doesnt alter any systemfiles, so its safe for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Yup!StarDock's BootSkin is simply incredible - magical, as compared to having to risk corrupting your kernel by resource-editing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 did u do as blackviper says, & make a backup hardware profile? or did u add it all on current 1 c:\windows isnt the same as c:\windows\system32 (do as he says )also, make sure "show hidden files & folders" are enabled & untick "hide protected operating system files" (control panel > folder options > view) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
