when i start up my acer it says that it can not start because a 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.
Is there anyway i can fix this without a disc or where can i get a disc. Because i got this computer secondhand and don’t have a disc. Would really help alot.

Every time I try to start up my advent laptop it says windows file is missing. I have the disks and have tried to use the disks and reinstall windows and it seems to be working but when its all finished it says And error has occurred and the following changes could not be made. I want to be able to fix my computer without using the turn to factory settings as I have very important files that I wish to keep. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lulu,

I have a laptop and when I turn it on it says that a file is missing or corrupt….. I do not have the disc the computer it came with…… I would just like a way to be able to use my computer…..

This could be memory related failure. It’s possible that one of the memory modules in your laptop is bad.
Try removing memory modules one by one and test the laptop with each module separately. The laptop should start properly when the faulty module is removed.
If you are getting same error with each memory module, I guess you’ll have to reinstall Windows.
It’s possible that you can reinstall Windows from the hidden partition on the hard drive. You’ll have to read the user’s manual to find out if there is such an option.

First, test your laptop with each memory module.
