Windows root system32 ntoskrnl.exe

Windows root problem

I just went through this same problem and did a reinstall and reformatted my computer and did not correct the problem. I found by accident that it was my printer causing the problem. My suggestion to you is to disconnect everything except the monitor, keyboard and mouse and try to reboot, see if this helps. If it does help try shutting the computer and plug one component in at a time. Keep doing this with every component until you find you problem. I also heard that a corrupt keyboard can cause the same problem so you might try a different keyboard.

ya like... i tried with just my moniter mouse and keyboard... a ps2 keyboard gives me the error, but if i try a usb one, it doesn't but then it starts up saying this is the first time windows has been activated!!! lame!!! plus, my keyboard wont work, either one. nor my mouse

Hi RayBay,

I have tried what you suggested but it does not ask me if i want to overwrite the file.

I tried the following: copy d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_c:\windows\system32

but it told me access is denied.

Could help me?

Thanx

I too have the problem window\system32\ntoskrnl.exe but I am unable to open anything it just comes up a black screen so rebooting from a CD or saving is out right now can someone help I just want to get in a save me stuff Thank you

I have a similar problem

Help....

I'm trying to fix my mom's pc and i get this error upon booting up the system. Now i've tried formatting the disc but the keyboard isn't working when i have the option to "press any key to boot from cd", i have tried another keyboard and the same thing happens. The only time that the keyboard is on is when i get the above mentioned error!!! Please help, i'm out of ideas!

Ok, I also have this NTOSkrnl.exe missing or corrupt error. If I boot with my USB mouse connected my keyboard is unresponsive and I get the error message. If I boot with my USB mouse disconnected, then my keyboard works and it boots up ok. At that point I can then plug in my USB mouse and all is fine. It kind of looks like a hardware problem to me. All of this re-installing that does not seem to help anybody is a waste of time if it is a hardware problem.

ntoskrnl.exe problem

i have the same problem with this error.

Everytime i boot to CD(XP) it did not continue my installation and it always restart for hardware configuration.

how can i fix this problem?

Hey,

We've had a few issues qith our PC. We had a trojon horse trying to sell us some anti-virus package, to get rid of that we had to delete rundll32.exe of our C drive along with a few other things. I think i might have got over-excited on the deleting front because now when i re-boot we get the error message window\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled. Do i simply need to reinstall Windows XP to get it to work again or can i get around it another way?

Cheers,

Ellie

Infected!!

To make a long story much shorter, we had the same issues at our office. Turned out it was a Delf worm that had gone undetected for some time; we are still trying to sort out the issues. Run some serious antivirus/malware software if your computer is still booting. Good luck!

same problem different computer
