I've bought some new gear and had to do a re-install of xp home and it keeps saying it's missing all sorts of files when it loads and then I'm having all sorts of problems with it. I think the cd has had it. can you get a replacement from microsoft or will I have to buy a new xp disk ?
 
I've tried formating and re-installing a few times now. Most of the time it's the same file can't remember what it was now. Memory sounds possible as it also randomly shuts down, at the moment it won't log me in on my profile as it says it's corrupt and so logs me in temporarily and then when I shut down all my settings etc are lost. Guess I better try mem test first. I've never tried it is it easy to do ?
 
I've just tried a repair and it said:
Cannot copy file migregdb.ex, icwconn1.ex, phone.ic then filelist.xm.
It then froze whilst starting windows so I turned the power off and on it booted to the usual temporary profile and brought up notepad with:
shellclassinfo%/systemroot%/system32/shell32.dll,-21787.
Any ideas ?
