Hello,

I had the 0 diskette msg come up took the suggestions that were posted on this site. computer came up to configuring data then shut its self down then came up with a black screen asking to start windows normally or launch system recovery check, done both of them then got a blue screen with msg:

STOP: c0000135 (unable to locate component)
This application has failed to start because GDI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

well i might sound thick but i dont know what to do next due to im not tech minded (Need fix For Dummies) (lol)

Can any one help me with this please computer is used by many of my family

Thanks

Marshall

I suspect you have a failing/failed hard drive. You could try a Windows repair/install as a short term solution - the instruction can be found at this site:

If you have re-installed XP and you still have missing files I would suspect you have a defective hard disk. Having it replaced or buying a new PC is quite a dilemma - you might pay a repair shop $200 to replace the hard drive only to have another part fail in a 5 year old computer - you can purchase a new PC for $600 or $700 (less if you reuse your existing monitor) and need to learn Windows 7.

Good Luck
