Hi Guys,
Feeling a bit stupid here....
I'm running a Dell Dimension 9150
Yesterday, I renamed all instances of file psapi.dll to psapi.old and ever since windows won't boot. After many hours of searching I've worked out the offending file is found in the \windows\system32 folder.
In the good old days I would have booted from a floppy and renamed the file back using DOS but....
I can't find a boot disk (or boot CD) or any way to get to the DOS prompt.
So as a bit of background info:
I can't boot in safe mode
Restoring to last known configuration doesn't work - we don't get that far!
I don't have a floppy drive
I'm running Win XP service pack 2
All I need to do is rename \windows\system32\psapi.old to \windows\system32\psapi.dll
How hard can it be.......?
Surely not a complete restore....?
Regards,
Martin
