T40 missing or corrupted \windows\system file after recovery process

My T40 Thinkpad had a corrupt drive so I secured the recovery disks from IBM to rebuild the hard disk. The recovery process seemed to work well, but when completed and prompted to remove all disks and reboot, the system booted and failed before Windows XP loaded with an error message that the windows\system file was corrupt or missing. Any recommendations on how to succesfully recover? Thanks.

boot off the WinXP Disc and run a repair. Did it mention the boot.ini file being corrupt, or something else?

T400: System Update = Corrupt windows system files

I have tried to make a fresh Windows 7 installation, but after installing updates via Lenovo System Update the system gets corrupt.
I replaced the hard drive on an T400 and loaded a image that I had on to the drive.
After a installing a few updates and program I noticed strange system beaver. So I did a system file check and it came back that files was corrupt and cold not be repaired.
So I did a new fresh Windows install. But it to became corrupt after just running Windows Update and Lenovo System Update.
So I ran some hard drive and memory diagnostic without find and problems.
Then I did a new Windows 7 install again. After I installed all recommended updates from Windows Update I did a system file check, all OK. The I installed Lenovo System Update and all its recommended updates and did a new system file check, Windows system files corrupt.
Any one exercising similar problem or have any Ideas what Lenovo update is destroying the system?

Are you sure you have a sound/healthy installation media?
I have Win7 Ultimate in three T400, a T400s, (plus three T500, two W500 and two X200s, just to name the Thinkpads of the same generation). Never had a problem with Lenovo System Update.
But in my case I first install PowerManagement only, then run Windows Update until Windows is fully updated and as a final step I run Lenovo System update. Worked as a charm so far...

Firefox 26.0 update corrupts windows system files

I updated firefox mid-December 2013 on a pc running Windows 7. Everything was fine until I shut down. Windows would not start. Safe mode would not start. We eventually found that there were corrupt system files. We fixed those, uninstalled the firefox update and everything was fine. At that time I was not certain firefox was the source of the problem because I had installed other updates and programs.
I just updated to firefox 26.0 (no other changes made), shut down, and couldn't launch windows. Uninstalled the update and fixing my sytem again.

Windows cannot start due to file is missing or corrupt Windows/system32/config/system

How do I recover system file from recovery disc ?

Hi,
You can get your missing file from an original windows installation disk.
To replace it you'll need a bootable CD or DVD to start your computer then put the file system (note that there is no extension) in Windows/system32/config/
Cheers,

Hp mini could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt /windows/system32/hal.dll.

windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
then it says please re-install a copy of the above file

Any system or sys32 and any .dll files missing or corrupted errors, usually the only fix is to reinstall windows and anything on hard drive not saved on removable drives...flash, usb, cd or floppy is lost. I've had several sys32.dll file missing or corrupted errors and asked at Best Buy Geek Squad what the fix would cost and that's how I learned the only fix is installing windows.

Mailed PDF files arrive on Windows platform as corrupt Windows Media files

Recently I mailed some .pdf files to 3 of the Windows machines on our network. Each of them reported that when attempting to open the .pdf file on the Windows machine, their system tried to use Windows Media instead of Adobe Reader. Of course they received an error message. When they saved the .pdf files on their machines, the files opened correctly in Adobe Reader.
These are files that I downloaded from the State of Oregon. After we had problems there, I mailed them some of the .pdf files I had created. Same results. The Windows machine treats them as corrupt Windows Media files.
I am the only Mac in our company. Of course the problem must be mine!?!
I am using MS Entourage as my mail client.
Suggestions? Comments? Answers?
Thanks!!

Kappy,
No problem! Your suggestions were what made me consider the extension option in Entourage's preferences. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Your suggestion also prompted me to try the same thing using Mail. Mail worked just fine, so the problem is in how Entourage handles the .pdf file being sent to a Windows computer where it will be opened either in Outlook or Internet Explorer.
It seems that Somewhere along the line, the .pdf extension is being changed to a .png extension which triggers the launch of Windows Media Browser.
I just rebuilt the Entourage database and I'll see what happens now.

Writing Windows system files

Hi guys!
I need to edit "boot.ini" file which is a Windows system file.
When I try to open a BufferedWriter :
File bootIni = new File("C:/boot.ini");
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(bootIni))It throws a
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\boot.ini (Access is denied)I tried
bootIni.setWritable(true)too but that didn't change anything.
Can somebody show me a solution?
Thanks

Did you have it open in another editor when you did that?No I didn't.
I found what caused this problem though :
If "Hidden" is ticked on in the file's properties, then for some reason Java doesn't let me write it.
I can't find a method which sets the file (un)hidden.

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

Some Virus Files that been created inside the Windows system file folder and System32 sytem file folder

I have here some copies of the files that I have retrieve inside the Windows folder and System32 system file folder. This files was created by a virus or some malware of some sort. Please take a closer look at thsi becasue this virus doesnt have a visible
events or something that you see at your screen to get you worried or to let you know that there is something bad happening on your system. I just cant get a copy of the virus file that is in a usb or a mass storage device of many students here in my internet
shop. And I'm worried even thou it does not do anything visible, I'm worried that it might made some security holes or privacy leaks that I can't seem to see it. Can't find the main program if it has one, because deleting the files seems to work but if my
computer plugs an infected usb device again the files comes back even thou the main virus file inside the usb device has been block and deleted by Avast, the files still is being created by some program of some sort inside the system, maybe it is already inside
the system or maybe not because the files will only be created if an infected usb device has been plug in even thou Avast has already detected the main .fat file inside the usb device still the files are created. I'm guessing this virus didn't penetrate the
system because full system scan came out clean twice. Boot time scan and start-up scan all users and all loaded to memory files also came out clean, but the files was already deleted before the scan so I don't know for sure of the result if these files were
scan. I just want to know why these files penetrated the Windows system folder even if my UAC is active, how come this virus has gain access to the system folder and bypassing the UAC, DEP and my Windows Defender. And also I'm gonna post in Avast forums about
this too.

Unable to restore backed up files after recovery

I had to do a system recovery, and in the process backed up my files. After recovery, I updated Microsoft and HP files, installed Norton 360, Office 2007, Outlook, and Nikon photo software. I then tried to restore my backed up files. Every time a User Account Control box pops ups and stating an unidentified program wants to access my computer. I press allow, User account Control box goes away but nothing else happens. Help!

Hey asjhawk,
If you go into the advance backup and restore function are the database on your device and on your backup the same size?

File adapter - archiving files after successful processing & errors

Hi All
In sender file adapter, I understand that we can archive files after processing them.
After successful processing, we can archive the file, and if there are any errors, we can archive the file in a different folder (all files resulting in errors during processing are archived in a seperate folder).
Now, see this scenario.
My file is successfully picked up, processed and posted to receiving sap system thru proxy.
But, if there is any application specific error (ex: duplicate id), because of which this data cannot be processed in the receiving system, how can i move the file which is archived in successful messages folder to the folder where we archive error messages?
Is it possible?
This is required because, when there are these kind of errors with incorrect data, we want the corresponding file to be archived in the folder where erred files are archived.
Please let me know how we can achieve this.
Many Thanks
Chandra

in file sender CC, thr is option to archive and error file store also..
1)under processing mode - archive.. give the path thr..
2) To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, select Archive Faulty Source Files

Popup a window in the after-submit process

I have created a java script function in html header of the page as following:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function myPopup (p_search) {
var val1 = document.getElementById(p_search).value;
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&APP_SESSION.::::P3_ENAME:' + val1;
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=700,height=400");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
I want to call this function in one after-submit process like this:
begin
select name into p_name
from vehicle
where id = 32;
if SQL%ROWCOUNT = 1 then
javascript:myPopup(p_name);
end if;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
When I apply the changes in the application builder, I got this error:
1 error has occurred
ORA-06550: line 7, column 16: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ; The symbol ":=" was substituted for "" to continue.
How do I call the java script functions in the page process? What did I do wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
June

O.K. I think I got it working now. See
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:50
There is an on submit process multiplying the number you enter by two and populating the target item. The process is running only if there is number entered. If you enter any other string a pop-up window will show you an error message. The approach is simple:
1. create a process which does something on submit, if the supplied parameter is O.K. and nulls if not,
2. created a branch to an empty page which fires on submit and it is conditional - using process exception(s),
3. on the empty page there are two onload javascript calls:
onload="javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:201:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:::', 700, 700);javascript:redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:50:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::');"
the first one is opening the required pop-up page and the next one is redirecting back to where we started.
I don't know if there are any security issues with this approach. It is not so clean, since you need to create an additional empty page. However, it saves some coding of extra scripts.
What you are saying I also had in mind.

Windows system files deleted on oracle host

hi experts,
i have an issue regarding oracle database on windows XP... one of my client is using oracle 9.0.1.0
he used it for 5 years having no problem at all, but couple of days before, he installed internet connection on the oracle host, and soon after he start using internet, some OS files get corrupted with virus. he scan the machine with anti virus software, but his luck was really very bad, while scanning power goes off and server faces abnormal shutdown.
after restarting server, he found that oracle is not getting open and some programs also fails to run. no error stack was generated though. i think some files which are corrupted with virus might got deleted with anti virus scan.
these files don't belongs to oracle but to operating system (system 32) folder.now, when we are trying to access oracle we have to navigate to $ORACLE_HOME/ora90/BIN directory even to obtain LSNRCTL prompt and to perform any activity.
when we try to connect to database as sysdba it says "ORA- 12203: TNS unable to connect destination".
i tried listener.ora,tnsmnames.ora file but they are ok. all the oracle directory structure is intact and ORACLE_HOME is set to c:\oracle\ora90\
i even tried to recreate instance and tried starting database, but no luck...services in control panel are started.
what else i should be looking for????? can anyone suggest some solutions???
it will be really appreciable..
thanks and regards
VD

Hello,
+1. first time "ORA-12203 unable to connect destination:"+
Make sure you have correct entries for Host in listener.ora and tnsnames.ora. What is your machine name? Post your tnsnames.ora and listener.ora entries.
What does your alert.log says?
+2. second time invalid username/password+
+3. another time after entering username it dosent ask for password and hangs.....for long+
Did you try following command
C:>sqlplus "/as sysdba' --> OS authenticaiton.
{code}
listener is up and oracle service<sid> is also up...
+it is not allowing me to start DBCA either.....do i need to reinstall oracle software, create instance, with existing pfile?? can we specisy pfile=<path> in oradim command???+
h4. If you have choice of re-install and recreate instance, then I think you should go with it as this way it will be faster to get going.
h4. But if you just want to install software then shutdown instance and listener and re-install same version and try it to bring it up.
Regards
