My sisters computer has a problem.
It's running XP Pro
When booting up a message comes up that says there's a problem with
- \windows\system32\config\system
and asks to repair Xp Pro.
Now i know how to run XP repair but are there any alternative programs to fix this part of windows?
Or should i just repair then reinstall everything which don't work again?
Or bite the bullet & go for a format then fresh install of Xp?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried 'Last known good configuration’ option ? You hit F8 at boot then look at the options . It could be a corrupted file or driver , or missing Regfiles .
if you repair windows , all programs and settings stay the same I think.correct me if I am wrong
No your right David , I was thinking he can't boot to windows so try f8 to access safemode or other options . Boot from cd then repair is a an option as well .
I googled a fix here :

try running "sfc /scannow"
