Toshiba Satellite M45-Windows XP Home Edition SP2

Whenever I startup the laptop described above in the subject box, it trys to boot up but then I get the message:Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM then it says press r at the first screen to start repairs and when I do that nothing happens even when I push it repeatedly. So when I try to run recover I get the message: Media Test Failure, Check Cable. I have no idea what to do anymore. For one what cable do I check and how do I get to it?! And also, how do I get to the CD Drive on the thing?

Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
The System hive supplies one of the most important branches of the registry. Without it, Windows will not run.
Microsoft suggests this fix.
   How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
That takes a good deal of technical competence. It also requires either a Windows XP installation CD (any version) or a floppy drive. If you want to attempt it, I can help.
Just for the record, it's easy to prepare for those registry errors. When they occur here, it takes only a few minutes to repair them.

  • Error message downloading j2se 1.5.0 on windows XP home edition (SP2)

    Hello:
    I am getting the following error message attempting to install the j2se 5.0 on my windows XP home edition (SP2):
    "Error JavaTM installer
    The installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so please try installing at a later time as these file might be only temporarily unavailable."
    There is a bug report:
    Bug ID: 6237992
    Tested Bundle: 5.0u2_b09 JDK iftw on staging site
    http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
    Tested O/S: XP-Home (sp2)
    Problem:
    The installer throws error messages. I tried on three different
    XP-Home (sp2) machines in our lab. It throws error message the very first or second time and after that, it seems to work fine.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1) On XP-Home(sp2) machine, try to download and install the JDK iftw bundle from
    http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
    2) During the installation the first or second time, one of the following messages thrown:
    A) "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"
    B) Error - Java Installer
    "This installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version, please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so, please try installing at a later time, as these files might be only temporary unavailable"
    This problem seems to occur on XP-Home(sp2). When error message pops up, keep trying it, it 's eventually OK. It may confuse consumers at the first two times.
    xxxxx@xxxxx 2005-03-09 05:11:47 GMT"
    I have tried the downloading five times to no avail, both by double clicking, and using the windows run utility. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I am getting the same error when opening the J2se Development Kit 5.0 Update 8 after I press the Run button. ( "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package").
    Is there a solution ?
    Thanks,

  • Hi, i have a new toshiba laptop with windows 7 home edition K and first thing i did was download firefox but it does not open... thank you!

    Laptop is L630 and i bought it in Korea, language base is korean/english. I downloaded firefox first but it was US-english, so i uninstalled it and re-installed the uk-english version. Before that I set a persona on firefox 9the only add-on i was in time to set)
    When i click on the icons it does not launch...
    I tried several tiime to relaunch the PC but so far no change...

    I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
    Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
    Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions?

  • Problem with PC Suite and Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit

    I installed PC Suite on my desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit installed.  I was able to eventually run PC Suite (granted it needed to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode) and sync my calendar on my W518a cell phone with PC Suite via Bluetooth communications.  After I turned off my computer and restarted it, I could no longer open up PC Suite...its icon appears in my system tray with a red X over it as if it can't find the program.
    The SonyEricsson website indicates PC Suite can run with Windows 7.
    What is causing the problem I am having?  How do I get this corrected?

    I have downloaded and reinstalled the PC Suite software.  Although it is not working as well as it should, as long as I have my cell phone on with Bluetooth enabled prior to clicking on the icon to open the application, it seems to work OK.  Otherwise, when it opens, it just hangs and the only way you can close the program is to get into Task Manager and force it closed when its status is showing as "Not Responding".  I also have found that just "closing" the PC Suite window does not close the application...you have to click on the option to "Exit the Application" otherwise you continue to have it in your system tray with a red X over the icon.

  • Windows XP Home with SP2 QUESTION

    I've been searching for the answer for the past 45 minutes and can't seem to find it on the net. I turn to you now - as I've had good luck having my questions answered on this forum.
    Here we go :
    I've just ordered Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 from Amazon.com and would like to know how many PC's can I install it on simultaniously without running into any kind of problems. Someone told me that it's up to 2 separate computers that it can be installed on - I just wanted to make sure, since I want to use it on my MacBook and my girlfriends MacBook as well.
    Thank you in advance for your time and help

    you probably need to purchase an additional license, unless you don't plan to run windows update on one of the computers. if you go through with the whole registration, microsoft will probably disable one of the computer's key, at which point I think windows will stop working after 30 days.

  • MANY issues after installing Windows XP Home Edition with Boot Camp

    I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
    For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: "This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?" When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
    How do I fix this problem?
    Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
    A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
    D: Some of these problems may not be specifically "Application" related, but the top one mainly is. (in my views)
    ~Twilight

    Twilight:
    Is it possible that you installed Windows XPSP1 instead of the required SP2? If yes then that is cause of all of your issues listed in your post. You have no sound and you cannot connect wirelessly because you still have been unable to install the boot camp drivers when you inserted the leopard disk.
    Please double check to see which version of windows XP did you install. Remember, you need windows XPSP2 for all this to work.
    Now, in the event that you installed XPSP1 then you will need to get to the microsoft windows site on a different computer and burn the Service Pack 2 for windows XP on a CD. After that boot your apple mac to XP side and insert the Service Pack 2 disk and install the pack. After that, it will ask you to restart the computer which you must and then once fully booted into XP then insert the leopard CD again and see if takes and installs all the necessary drivers.

  • Anyone with Win XP Home Edition - SP2 have any luck connecting to Zen Micro???

    Has anyone out there that has Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 had any success with the following:
    . Using Zen Media Explorer with the Zen Micro successfully?
    2. Actually having the Zen Micro recognized by the Windows XP Home Edition (using USB2.0)?
    Since my first attempt at connecting to the Zen Micro without the software and firmware updates was unsuccessful, I upgraded Zen Media Explorer to 4.00.8 (from 4.00.3) and upgraded firmware to v2.00.2 (from v). Still no luck!!!
    I need a savior here before I decide to start looking into return policys.
    My problems are:
    . I plug in the zen micro into the usb2.0 port, and it states, "Found New Hardware: Creative Zen Micro."
    2. But then it immediately says there is a problem with the device and takes me to the "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard."
    3. I step through the wizard, point it to search for the appropriate drivers on the Zen install cd rom and also to search the C:\Windows\System32, only to have it tell me that "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary hardware."
    Any suggestions? There must be something in XP Home Edition that is not jiving with the zen and its software because I have used the Micro successfully at work on a XP Professional machine with no issue.
    I will call Creative tomorrow if I don't get things settled out.

    Ok I had the same problem. It's most likely a driver installation error.
    Insert the software CD.
    After it starts exit the installation and go to My Computer. Right click the D:\ (or whichever letter is your CD dri've) and select Explore..
    From there you will look for a Folder named Drivers.
    From there you should see 3 files and double click the first of the three,( If it's not the first one try the second or third)
    This should be the driver installation pack for Creative Zen microdri've players ( Which includes the Zen Micro) After it should say something abuot re-connecting the player to make the changes fully effecti've. I restarted my computer and the player and plugged the player into the same USB port and XP recognized the player and Zen Media Explorer said teh player was connected.

  • Installation 10g on Windows XP Home Edition

    When I try to install 10g on my Windows XP Home Edition, I get a error message, "oui.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Whats that all about?

    Windows XP Home is not a supported platform for Oracle. I have heard some people have been able to get it to work but usually not without a lot of tinkering. General rule of thumb -- Windows anything Home edition is not supported by Oracle. My suggestion is if you have the disk space, install VMware and put a Linux distro like Centos in it and install Oracle on that. Or go the dual boot route.

  • Itunes 7.1.1. and Windows Vista Home Edition

    Hi there. I have a new PC from HP model T3765.it and I am NOT able to use my iPod nor to install iTunes for more than two months: my PC says "you have to repair iTunes to make it working with Windows Vista". I followed the instructions (Control Panel --> Programs --> iTunes --> repair) but no result. My PC has Windows Vista Home Edition. Does anyone know what to do? Is there a way to sort this out or do I have to wait for a new iTunes release?
    Thanks, Giacomo

    Can anyone help me with instructions to restore the Ipod to a back level? I have searched the discussions but haven't found a method. I have downloaded 1.2.1 but Itunes wants to check for an update and won't let me get past that point.

  • How may I eliminate all of iTunes from Windows XP Home Edition before making a "clean" installation of iTunes?

    Hello.  I found that in Windows XP Home Edition that I had two subdirectories of iTunes: C:\Program Files\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes(2).  I assume this situation has arisen by me not properly updating iTunes in the past.  When it came time to update iTunes from one of the version 10.3s to version 10.4 of iTunes, I tried to do something about the pair of iTunes subdirectories.  Via Start, Control Panel, and Add or Remove Programs I "Remove"d the only listing of iTunes; that is iTunes(2) was not listed there.  But afterwards C:\Program Files\iTunes(2) still existed, as viewed in the program Windows Explorer.  Next while offline I installed iTunes10.4 by running the downloaded file iTunesSetup(4).exe in my case.  I chose C:\Program Files\iTunes(2) as the directory for installation.  Next I uninstalled iTunes via Add or Revmove Programs.  The directory C:\Program Files\iTunes(2) then still existed.  I need an iTunes cleanup utility, if there is one, or else a way to eliminate all vestiges of iTunes, including registry entries, from my Windows XP Home Edition.  [I think this situation is the opposite of a situation in which the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (WICU) would apply.  I think the WICU is useful when a program is visible by name in the Windows Add or Remove Programs list, but can't be removed by clicking on "Remove" in that list.]  [I also noticed the directory C:\Program Files\iPod(2).  Is that directory associated with iTunes(2)?]  After that I would hope that a fresh offline installation of iTunes 10.4 to my computer's hard-disk drive would result in only C:\Program Files\iTunes among iTunes subdirectories in C:\Program Files when viewed in Windows Explorer.  Please inform me how to reach this goal.  Thanks.

    I'd also dig down into where your home user account holds temp files, as well as application preferences and support. I just know Vista began using \myaccount\AppData and multiple locations under there.
    Apple leaves behind every past installer cache, support (imporant to get rid of that also).
    The first thing I do (no iPod etc) is uninstall Bonjour and disable iPod and MobileMe.
    Windows Uninstaller Cleanup Utility also use to be a must for stubborn "partially installed" apps.
    When you are done, CCleaner and Registry.
    Another place to clean is %TEMP% (may be different in XP).

  • Sap b1 setup failed on Windows Vista -Home edition

    Hi experts,
                      I installed SQL-2005 on windows vista home edition and also installed SAP B1-2007B-PL09 but it shows error connection with License server failed and SAP B1 service manager-License Manager 2007 are also disable .so my question is it SAP b1 support Windows vista-home edition.pl suggest me solution.
    Regards,
    Sudhir pawar

    Sudhir,
    Windows Vista home edition is not a supported Operating system.
    That being said, the reason that your license manager is not enabled is more than likely not due to this fact.
    Close the server tools, and relaunch but this time right-click and 'run as administrator' this should enable all the options and allow the license server to start.
    You may also want to view the system requirements PDF available in the SAP B1 document resource center, this should give you some insight into supported platforms.
    I hope this helps,
    Lucas
