Something in Windoze is SERIOUSLY hosed.

You could try re-applying the latest Service PAck from Microsoft (SP2 if it's WIndoze XP - You didn't specify)
If you don't have any recovery disk or Windows CD that came with the system, then you're kinda SOL.

sirtokesalot21 · 08-23-2007, 02:03 PM

whitch update is the sp2 update in the add remove programs thing?

Darque Pervert · 08-23-2007, 03:21 PM

No. It won't be in the Add/Remove programs.
Get it from Micro$oft's website: Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 2 for IT Professionals and Developers

Here is a thread you may want to look at

Microsoft: Windows XP Pro - DCOM Server Process Launcher

Downloading service pack 2 and reinstalling sounds like a good idea as well.

well the dam thing crashed. i cant even boot it into windows now. i had to order a recovery disk from the emachines website.

Darque Pervert · 08-26-2007, 01:20 PM

First of all, e-machines are pieces of crap. They are the Yugos of the pre-built PC market.
I'm not trying to bash your PC or anything. The fact is, that E-Machines used the lowest quality bottom-of-the-barrel parts in order to have a low-priced computer. They are more prone to hardware failures, and this could be one.

The recovery disk wasn't really necessary, although you'd have to be able to latch on to a copy of Windoze XP, or some other operating system.
But when you get it, if you have issues reloading and getting the system back up & running, it's likely some piece of hardware failing. Could be HDD, CPU, RAM, motherboard..

Good luck, man.
