suzi Report post Posted January 20, 2011 I ran repairs tool twice on Black XP with same results. The registry gets messed up and some programs won't run or open . My dialup connection is active but can't access web. The last time I took the computer to the shop that built the machine because I didn't knw what had caused the problem. Found out 2 nights ago when I ran the repairs tool again and have all same problems and a couple of new ones.. I can't afford to take it back into the shop, financially or personally, please tell me how I can fix this. I am using a friend's computer in the meantime. Anything I would have to download will have to be to a CD to use on my machine. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suzi Report post Posted January 20, 2011 ^That is not the problem. I have the error messages and event viewer logs if it will help. Windows startup is slower than before. Once loaded the following messages appear: WINDOWS Windows can't find '[][][][][]' Make sure typed correctly or search for file. no files found. clicked ok. Next msg is: DESKTOP Could not load or run '[][][][][]'specified in registry. Make sure it exists or remove reference to it in registry. clicked ok. Next msg is : WINDOWS Windows can't find [][][][][][]u 16 more[] Make sure typed correctly or search for file. no files found. clicked ok. Next msg is: DESKTOP Windows can't load or run """""""" same as above. Each msg repeats 3-4x then stops. Dial up connection is active but can't access internet. Options are okay BITS service and firewall/ICS cannot be started. I have event viewer logs on CD if it will help. SAS and AVG scans are clean even in safe mode. Why would the repair tool screw up the machine so badly? Thanks, Suzi sys events.txt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a side note, Black XP appears to be a hacked version of Windows - that's likely where the problem is stemming from - if your computer shop put that on there, you should demand a legal version of Windows!
