Okay, my brother got a lap top computer here a few days ago, and at start up its sayin:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM
Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair
He bought it second hand, its really good, pentium 4, windows xp and all this good stuff. but does he need to get the cd from the dude he got it from or what? cuz we were tryin to get the net hooked up to it the other day and then while its in the lil black screen mode at the start up that message comes up and it won't let u get past that. I've seen that warning on my computer many times, but it jus evernually went away, and it wasn't at startup, it was just a pop up.
Anyone possibly know how to fix it??:confused:
