The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

This is super nasty.

(Running Windows XP Pro Tablet PC from Fujitsu)

Although I have used it 100's of times previously without trouble, CrapCleaner has appartenly zapped my computer. I did a registry clean and now my computer won't start. The registry file is corrupt, and although I made a backup, I'm unable to access it. I'm getting the."load needed DLLs for Kernel" error. I'm unable to do a SafeMode boot.

Here's where things really get tricky:

1) Fujitsu only gives a "Restore State" disk, meaning that in order to repair windows using thier disk, I have to wipe that partition of the hard drive.
2) While the bulk of my files are on the D (non-boot) partiion, the file that matters most--the Outlook 2003 pst file--is on the Boot C partition. Because of this, a partition wipe is not a pleasant option.
3) When I tried to use another XP Pro Disk to do a repair install, it says that it "can't find the hard drive"...this may be due to the hard drive being SATA???
4) Because the Hard Drive is Sata, I do not have cords readly available to do any kind of Data dump
5) To compound things even worse, I'm in the middle of a house move, and I'm currently logistically in a fairly remote location. All I have are a) My Fujitsu Tablet/Laptop b) My wife's Dell Latitude D600 (which I'm usuing right now) c) internet access

HELP!!

Thanks in advance
