First of all, apologies for reposting this topic - I have read previous posts but can't find a solution to my specific problem...
When I boot up my Windows XP laptop it goes straight to Safe Mode / Last Known Good Configuration / Start Normally menu choice - I have tried all of the above but it blue screens every time wit the message:
STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}
The registry cannot load the hive (file):
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE
or its log or alternate.
It is corrupted, absent, or not writeable.
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
I never get to the ‘Welcome to Setup’ screen to be able to start the Recovery Console...
Any ideas...?
All help and suggestions greatly appreciated!!!
