HI!
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computers. I've been getting a system 32 error on start up and I can't seem to shake it. Any ideas on how to solve this dilemma would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanx,
Lostcaper

full error message would help. and are u using winxp

Have you try to use a Windows System Repair tool that will scan your windows os and list all system errors including your system 32 corrupt or missing erro. It will attemp to fix your system 32 error if it can.

A system32 file is the main heart of your PC OS. You have problems if it is corrupted which is what it sounds to me is your problem.
A free system scanner and fixer is errorsmart. One that has work for me in the past. You can download it from http://www.SpeedUpMyPc.Info

If this will not fix it you might have to re install the OS again....ouch...I know what a pain that is sometimes. Good Luck

PS: I forgot to ask, did you try rebooting, hitting F8, select "Boot Using Last Known Good Configuration". ? If not you might want to give this a try first!
