Hi,
For some reason, I can't play an online game, the debugger told me it is my registry file corrupts. He told me to fix it with my windows xp cd.
But the problem is, how do I do that? I insert the CD, but it seem my computer doesn't boot my CD...
enter the bios, set the boot sequence to boot from cd.
boot all the way to a page listing the c: drive.
choose to repair there.
it will act like its reinstalling windows all over again, but its only repairing systems files/registry.
you won't lose any data

thx for your reply..but still I don't know what to do.
I can now reboot my computer with the cd, I press R to repair. It asked me which windows it should repair, well there is only one option for me, "1. D:\Windows", so I type: "1" then ENTER, then it ask me for the password...I enter it...then it shows:
D:\Windows
if I click ENTER, it will become:
D:\Windows
D:\Windowswhat should I do from here? (Yes, my winXP is install in D drive)
It seem hard and difficult..:P

I think you are getting into the recovery console. What you need to do is :-
1. When it gives you the three options at the beginning. Hit enter to setup windows now.
2. Then you will see the End user license agreement. On which you need to hit the F8 key to accept the agreement.
3. Then you need to hit R in the next screen for repair which will take care of the repair installation.
This should work ;)

okay, I just found a web page. take a look:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmc_str_bjid.asp
Okay, at the middle-bottom of the page they said:
Using Recovery Console to replace the System file
At the Recovery Console prompt, locate the config folder by typing:
cd system32\configCreate backups of the System or Software files by typing:
copy system <drive:\path\filename>-or-
copy software <drive:\path\filename>
If they exist, save backups of other files that use file names that start with "system" or "software," such as System.sav or Software.sav.
Replace the current System or Software file by typing:
copy ..\..\repair\system-or-
copy ..\..\repair\software
Answer the Overwrite system? (Yes/No/All): prompt by pressing Y.
Restart the computer.
Is that the way I've to do it? I'm not so sure?
