christmascracker Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 When you have copied the I386 folder from the restore disc to a blank cd, put the disc in the drive and click on start, run and type in sfc /scannow. (note the space between sfc and / )It should then check and replace any corrupt files if necessary.Don't delete the original folder in windows.I've just done it myself to check that it works and it does :unsure: Scarecrow, I thought this way might be easier for Joysness than editing the registry :blink: In Spikeys' link he says you can burn the folder to a cd instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christmascracker Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi joysnessI've had a look around and there are a few problems the same as yours and the kellys corner fix has worked for them.You could try (in the bin properties) putting the tick into "remove files immediately when deleted" reboot and then put the tick back in againI'm at a loss to be honest :( Don't give up just yet though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joysness Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 OK I'll give that one a try..I think I'll send an email off to eMachines too and see why the restore cd doesn't have that I386 folder. Maybe I can get another one.Worth a try.And I'll go have a poke round Kelly's Korner and see if I can get any more info.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joysness Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 WOOOOHOOOO :thumbup: :jump: :jump: :DI'm so excited !!!!!!It's fixed YAAAAHHHHHHere's what I did in case anyone else has the same problem...I went to Kellys Korner and went to the Win XP A-Z section (link below)http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm I tried every one of the fixes under the Recycle Bin problems and this one finally worked NONUKEONDELETE.I clicked on the link, saved to desktop, doubleclicked and ok, okThen I deleted that desktop icon, and BINGO it went straight to the recycle bin and there it was, that little folder in the bin!!And when I open the bin it shows there too.So thank you all for your help and patience. I really appreciate it. :flowers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
