RR_Trials Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have my mates laptop that will not boot, he has alot of files on there that he needs to get of of it if we need to re-store it.This is the message we get when it is booted:load needed DLLs for kernelWell all i can see is there being two ways of fixing this, getting the DLLs (whatever they are) and replace them somehow, or taking of the files (somehow) and re-installing XP. Problem is we have no disks what so ever. Please help trials-forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 In safe mod backup his important files to a CD or USB drive. An then re-install XP with a disc when you find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
