Hi Andy
Until I get the message again I will not be able to give the info you need. So, if you can hang on I will copy the message when it next arrives. I never thought that I would hope to see it again!
The file name is correct unless the first character is a zero. But I tried that in a search.
Please make it possible for me to send you more info when I get it.
Don

I did the checkdisk and memtest - no problems
BUT
then I looked carefully at the file name
AND ooops
It is 0s6orkjf.exe - ie starting with a zero and third character six
A search found 3
One is prefetch
one is the dreaded error message - system32
and one is also in System 32
Very sorry for my error my eyesight aint what it used to be.
What can I do?
Andy - The program does not want to work. It starts and immediately stalls.
I left it for about 2 hours but no joy.
Could I not just delete the file that creates the error message??
1. Put the Windows Disk into your drive and restart your computer. Keep pressing F12 [or F10 / etc to choose the boot source] when it starts and choose the CD drive as the boot device when asked. If you are not able to do this then do this : Restart computer and on startup screen it will mention a Key to enter setup. Press that key immediately to enter setup. Then you will find many tabs. Goto BOOT tab. Change the boot order to make the CD Drive as 1st device in Boot order list and then restart computer making sure disc is already in CD Drive.
2. Then it will prompt you to press enter to boot from CD and and allow the installer to load.
3. Then after the installer has loaded it should give you "Welcome to Setup" screen with following options:
To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
Here, Press Enter [to setup Windows XP]
4. Then you will have to press F8 to agree to the licence agreement.
5. Then next screen you will be asked to press enter to setup windows or R to repair, Please press R.
[ If Repair is not one of the options, END setup ]
6. Now, Do not press any key to boot from CD when the mesage appreas. Now it will look like it is installing Windows, but it will do comparison of files on your machine against the ones on the CD and then replace any damaged files with the original.
This should hopefully repair your windows and also you should not loose any files documents etc.

Andy - I tried to follow your instructions but was told it would not work - something to do with different ages of the windows on the disk and that on my computer.
So, I decided to delete all the files carrying the file name AND it seems to have worked - no more error messages!
Thanks for your efforts and patience.
