Troubleshooting Guide

Troubleshooting Guide

***This troubleshooting guide is meant to help u guys fix OS related problems. Working as a part of a Technical Support team helped me learn a couple of new things. So here I am again after a veeery veeeery long time of abandoning my website. I'm back to give you guys a different kind of update. It ain't a tweaking guide that I know, but should keep u tweaking even after experiencing crappy problems with your computer.

**Try to visit this page every once in a while. I will be adding up a couple of new things here every once in a while. I may even add up a couple of new things for portables, which I didn't even have a clue how to operate before because I haven't had the pleasure of having one.

*On the down side, this page may be the only page that I will be updating for another long span of time. Sorry guys, I'm pretty busy right now. I barely have enough time to sleep. And I believe I have already posted all my "tweaking" knowledge on the other sections of this website, which is still a good thing ... right?

Forgot ur WinXP Password?!

Step 1: Grab and boot-up ur computer using the WinXP disc.

Step 2: Select "Enter" at the Welcome to Windows screen. Followed by "F8" on the next screen to accept the EULA.

Step 3: Select "R" to repair ur current installation of Windows (system will do its thing and restart the computer).

Step 4: After restart, keep an eye at the lower left portion of ur screen. When the Installing Devices appear, immediately tap on Shift+F10.

Step 5: At the prompt type in: control userpasswords2. When a window opens up, remove the check mark to log without asking for windows password.

Step 6: Write down ur next password on a sheet of paper and remember where u store it ... lol!

Step 1: Grab and boot-up ur computer using the WinXP disc.

Step 2: Tap "R" on the first screen after Windows finish loading up files.

Step 3: Select the Windows version and enter your Admin password if prompted.

Step 4: Go to the C:\> prompt by typing in "CD \" or "CD .."

Step 5: Type: "cd system~1\_resto~1" (Note: if ACCESS DENIED follow Step 5a)

Step 5a: Type: "cd windows\system32\config". Then type: "ren system system.bck". Then restart the computer and go back to Step 2.

Step 6: Type "dir" and keep on hitting "enter" until you find the "rp" (restore point) file with the highest number.

Step 7: Type: "cd rp#" (where # = the highest restore point number available). Then type: "cd snapshot".

Step 8: Type the ff commands:

copy _registry_machine_system C:\windows\system32\config\system

copy _registry_machine_software C:\windows\system32\config\software

copy _registry_machine_security C:\windows\system32\config\security

**Simply hit "Y" followed by "enter" everytime it asks you if you want to overwrite/replace the files.

Step 9: Type: "exit" to restart your computer.

**The said steps work with BSOD 218 code with the following corrupted files:

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SECURITY
