It keeps asking if I want to run a system restore (or if I want to run "Last known good men") and says
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is either missing or corrupted. Then, no matter what I select, it keeps recycling to the black screen, asking me how I want to recover from the problem.

Does this sound like a hardware or software problem?

I've got a 2002 HP Pavilion running Windows XP.

Am I screwed? Is it worth calling Geeks-on-call or should I trash it and buy another PC?

What I do when this happens is I restart my laptop and open the YM again. Is the problem my laptop or the internet connection? My laptop is Acer Aspire 3690 - Intel Celeron M with 512MB DDR2 and 120GB HDD

The computer isn't reading the cd. i've played it before on my computer and it worked and it's not damaged or anything. if it was damaged it would play it and say that it was damage but it acts like there isn't any cd at all in it.

As you know, there are many USB ports on the computer, both front and back. Whenever I plug the flash drive in the front, my computer can never read it and it shows that no flash drives are present. On the otherhand, when I use an USB port on the back of the computer, it reads it just fine. How can I fix the front port so it can read it? Thanks in advance.

Maybe something that will plug into your cigarette lighter and can plug into the existing cord for your laptop? Anything like this? Or a car adaptor for your laptop? Anyone?
