Windows XP system crash rescue Daquan

Computer Store News After I wrote the column "When XP crashes", the mailbox is filled with readers' comments and suggestions on this issue. Now I will sort out some of the more useful ones and hope to help everyone. Some readers' opinions: 1. The current telephone technical support of computer companies is too bad. Many netizens complained to me in the mail about how poorly the telephone company's telephone technology service is. I also feel the same for this. One of my relatives called Compaq after the computer went wrong, and the service staff (automatically shut down the computer) told him to buy another computer. Carly (CEO of HP-Compaq), don't you feel shameful? I complain that Symantec's telephone technical support is particularly high. But fair http://www.xsyzj.cn said that Symantec's website service is doing a good job. If you are looking patiently, you can find answers to some common questions. 2, for anti-virus software, it seems that everyone is not too cold for Norton AntiVirus. The products of ZoneAlarm and TrendMicro are also slightly praised. 3, about the XP repair tool that comes with the computer. Some readers complain that HP Compaq's included Quick Recovery CDs actually format their hard drives directly. This program is really fast. 4, many readers recommend reinstalling the system. I have made this method "large surgery". 5, WinPE and BartPE. If you have a Windows pre-installed environment (WinPE), you can make your own XP installation CD, and you can add some anti-virus or other useful software. But most users do not have Microsoft's Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Software Assurance Membership License (SAM). A Dutch user named Bart copied the WinPEXP boot method from the CD and made a software called BartPE. If you are interested, you can go to his website (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/). This is really a good thing if there are not too many authorization warnings. Some extreme readers' opinions: 1. Buy an Apple computer. Several readers recommend this approach to me like a magic wand. But they don't seem to realize the cost of buying new Apple hardware and software. Plus, some of the software on XP doesn't have a replacement on the Mac. Moreover, this introduces another question - whether we should support the support of a product with a market share of only 3% 2, and move to Linux. Many readers think that moving to Linux is a good choice. But for most people, this is not realistic. A user who runs multiple computers at the same time at work candidly said: "Compared with the troubles encountered on Linux, the problem with Windows is simply not worth mentioning. & rdquo; Indeed, if your computer has a problem with Xp, you can easily find a large number of capable and willing to help people, and usually do not incur additional costs. Under Linux, I am afraid that there are very few people who can help you. In the Linux community, most groups are non-profit or even loss-making. No one is responsible for the problems that arise with their products. A large number of user error reports have been "thrown" into the black hole of Bugzilla. And the installation and upgrade of the software is extremely complicated. Most software developers only provide source code, and users need to compile themselves to run. They forget that most end users are not developers! "Large surgery" before the last glimmer of hope 1, system restoration. This feature allows the system to "restore" the state of a previous period. But in my experience, this feature is basically useless. 2, system software check tool. Some readers recommended this Microsoft tool software to me. The software runs on a Dos window under XP, which scans out files that are not signed by Microsoft and then replaces the crashed files with software in the cache, system disk or downloaded system/security update. This software is included with the XP installation disk. 3, XPLite. Can be downloaded. Many users have strongly recommended this software to me, and I have also introduced this software. This software allows you to remove some useless XP packages and turn off XP Windows File Protection. Then, you can freely cover some protected software, such as IE. Large surgery  This is indeed the simplest and most effective. The most straightforward way is to use the Windows CD directly, or the kind of "Quick Recovery" CD that HP Compaq offers. You can also use a hidden partition to recover a boot partition. Another option is to clone a functioning system using a partition copy software in advance. The only downside to this approach is that Microsoft only allows you to install the operating system four times. Also, you will need to reinstall security updates such as SP2. XP Repair and XP Recovery  Two (computer no sound) methods need to be booted from the XP installation disk. The XP fix is ​​slightly gentler, it will reinstall all Windows components without making changes to the registry; XP recovery will cover all Windows software. In addition, these two (computer no sound) methods need to reinstall SP2 and other security updates, but can avoid the trouble of reinstalling some applications.
