I 've been having trouble with my windows explorer after a system crash a few days ago and I can't access 'My Computer'
The system will freeze and I need to use task manager to shut down the application and in some cases that won't work I have to reboot.

Decided to run the repair utility from the Xp Cd only to get the blue screen and an error message that I don't understand (this has happened twice in a row)

*** Stop: 0x0000007e (oxoooooo5,0xf48e0bf,0xf78da208,0xf78d9f08)
*** pci.sys- address f748e0bf base at f7487000 dateStamp 3b7d855c

Any suggestions that may help other than a full re-install

regards
Grant

792619 2009-07-17 22:55:00 That pci.sys is the main prob. Its crashing. You may have to do something similar to this (support.microsoft.com) to replace it

WHAT service pack is /was installed? Does this computer have a card reader on it?

792621 2009-07-17 23:02:00 Hmm this may have applied then (support.microsoft.com) but SP3 is installed. You may have to extract pci.sys from the cd if SP3 is slipstreamed, then copy it to the right folder. Then reboot Speedy Gonzales (78)
792622 2009-07-18 02:58:00 A long shot but see if you can get to safe mode with command prompt, then run sfc /scannow.

May ask for your WinXP CD.

If that doesn't work, we'll walk you through instructions on extracting pci.sys from your WinXP CD to your computer.
