WINDOWS IS FUCKED UP :@

by rebelii • 7 Nov 2007, 10:21 • Journals
After installing some fucked-up UXTHEME-MULTIPATCHER patch , now when I try to change the skin thru Windows' way it says that there was an error and files couldn't be loaded. [For all XP Styles except default ones] and when I try with Windowsblind :

Basically, I think re-installing Windows could help ?

When you reinstall Windows , does it format ? Do you lose ALL your files on the HD ?


If yes , what else can I do to fix it?

Yes you lose all your files. Back-up everything

you can make install which only refreshes system files so nothing will be lost

if i remember correctly, when you start the installation of win, it asks you what you want to do

i dont remember when exactly, but quite at the beginning, and its hard to miss

3. do NOT choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press R".
4. Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows installations.
5. Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to start the repair.

I completely reinstalled my Windows few days ago and it's a pleasure to use it now. :-D

I had plenty of useless, empty CD's and DVD's so I uploaded everything important to them. :P

I have done a few recoveries and I dont suggest them if your windows is seriously damaged. Complete format ftw.

edit: Ofc one error message isnt so serious that format is needed. ^^"

only format the partition with windows on it, sux if u only have one big partition, which is why u never only have 1 big partition.

Just throw the disc in the drive, and repair windows using the recovery console.
Its a bugger for saying ur Admin pass is wrong though :X

(btw: nero has backup tool that will back up all ur data on multiple DVDs, or if u have a laptop, or another PC, set up a small network, and share the files within ur other pc/laptop, would be a valid back up:))
