missing dll files:
dhcpcsvc.DLL
DNSAPI.dll

corrupted file:
windows\SySWOW64

no idea what happened, worked yesterday morning, rebooted, got a fuck ton of errors
ie and mozilla both have missing files, cant get on the internet, cant update windows because windows\SySWOW64 is totally corrupt
chkdsk utility runs, starts to tell me how much is corrupted and promptly closes
cant system restore because SySWOW64 is corrupt, and because its a box computer i dont have a windows disk


halp
not sure if this just means the hard drive is fucked, or if i can get a utility to section off the bad sectors and somehow work around it (which would not address the fact an entire folder of windows is corrupt)

iso

Going to need to do some Googling while at the desk IMO

I don't know shit about these kinds of things.

That is the #1 thing I am afraid of buying a computer and building it myself, at least if I shelled out the extra cash for a decent gaming rig, a company is going to at least test it for me.

this = laptop bought from bestbuy
gonna grap the laptop after work and sit at work hunting answers, but iso expert advice ofc

Oh.

So why did you dodge WoW?

Should be @ mac imo

the syswow64 is where 64 bit files are downloaded, if corrupt you might wanna download from www.planetamd64.com... they have a good list of drivers to dl

didnt feel like playing wow when my computer was blowing up. tried running every utility i could think of and nothing would fix the problem, playing wow instead of trying to figure things out didnt seem right



this is in response to @ joe toilet which was shit up so i remade



ill check it out, but what is supposed to be in there ya know

Just gonna throw my 2 cents into the mix here.

You can partition out the bad sectors and hide the bad sector partitions. However, if you are looking to have a good gaming rig that is working at it's best, the extra partitions are just gonna slow ya down. I'm not current on prices but shell out a few bucks and get a 10,000 rpm disk drive and you will be happy with the investment.

considered this but then i have to also buy windows since this is not a home built computer
guessing i should make geek squad earn their keep and take this in but fuck

or is there a way to get the windows that i paid for but dont have the disk?

If you have the product key, yes

7200 rpm drives are pretty cheap, but if I was in the market and had the $ I'd love to try a new 15000 or solid state for shits

Most computers/laptops come with the disk when you buy them I thought

this is also a laptop
i have zero experience with them, donno how different things are when changing parts etc

if so then fml cuz i dont have one

Hard drive swap on a laptop is easy, only an extra screw or two that stands in your way and they connect directly to a modified card/insert on the motherboard not a cable

Wait...all this time you have been playin wow on a laptop?

last 3 months or so, yea

You may want to tell people in the guild that your PC was having trouble if they ask about it.

options:
section off the bad sector of hd and play a gimped computer (no)
send to geeksquad to make them earn their keep (will take a week i assume)
buy new hd and wait couple of days for it to get to me, then reinstall everything zzzzzz

What exactly do you need a laptop for immediately anyway?

Give it to the Geekfaggots and be done with it.

because its my only computer?

you may remember i bought this cuz my old desktop gfx card took a shit

What happened to your new PC?

ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME

No, I just really don't even pay attention to conversations I have on Ventrilo.

this is the new comp yo
i think the os is on a disk the more that i think about it, gonna try to have windows repair itself first

I thought you were building a PC brah

PC = desktop

I know the laptop is new

i was holding off on the desktop for i7 not to be anal rape

I am retarded.

I hope I can get some government grants for going back to school and maybe a loan and I'll get a new PC

check this out joe - http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrorm...ssing-error.htm

didnt read toilet past first poop

system restore

edit: didnt fully read first poop

:task:

sounds like a virus

safe mode, virus scans, etc?
any unknown programs running?

done and done
corrupted files imo
i think i know which disk is the os, even though it does not say its the os
ill boot from it and have windows try to repair itself

you can also create boot disks with vista and use them to restore, wont help you much unless you have some blank dvd's laying around though

and donno, files dont just randomly become corrupted in a few month old pc

Just reformat..you just got it so the HD shouldn't be bad.

avoiding this like the plague

and if youre going to reformat, back-up wow patches from
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Blizzard Entertainment
for +1 nerd point

Have you tried system restore yet?

im gonna go out on a limb and say you didnt read a thing past the first 3 lines

whats saved there?

booted the "recovery" disk which did not give me an option to repair, only roll it back to day 1

If you're going to miss the raid tonight, you should proelbay try to poop why @ Guild forums.
