Boot disk for XP

[wumply]

I was wondering, zipp 51 (or anyone) why aren't there some people around who know Windows and XP inside out (the O/S that is) who could come and look at your computer. Sure, one would have to pay but I agree with your skeptcism re repair shops for something like this. And just now when I tried to go on standby I got this message: C:\Widows\System 32\batmeter.dll is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk (which is chkdsk.exe) utility. I ran it; it said it was deleting 4 files, and vanished. But when I tried to go to standby again, the message reappeared and went only when I clicked its OK button RAPIDLY 5 TIMES. GO FIGURE!!!

Hi Wumply,

Cut and paste one of these links in your browser for the boot disk maker for win xp(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en).or(http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q314079).I think one of these options is what you arte looking for.

I'm working on the batmeter.dll file.So far I found that it is a battery helper file found in your setup.I believe that you can restore this file by running scannow /sfc from your run command.Be sure to put the space after scannow. Also was wondering if your xp is an upgrade from an earlier windows?
