klatchum Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) Hello to everyone on the forum. I am 1st time user on this forum and I am having a real problem! Not sure I can be helped short of a system reload but sure would be nice if I didn't. My problem is my computer crashed and when I do a restart I get the following message! (Stop: c00000218{Registry file failure} THe registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\config\software or its log or alternate. It is corrupt, absent, or not writable. Beginning dump of physical memory I have shut system down manually and removed battery pack and reinstalled. No change in system response. I cannot get to first base. the system will not let me get into safe mode. I have put restore disc and and it will accept them but I will loose all my files and date saved. Is there any hope other than a complete reload???? Ken Edited May 3, 2008 by klatchum Quote
