Well I have fixed it. Quite a PITA to do as well I renamed WinSXS to WinSXSxx and copied WinSXS from my home PC Then I exported the WinSXS section of the registry, checked ALL of the calls were the correct path and copied onto the temporary F: Then refitted the drive, imported the Reg files and it worked! It can go back to work now Just have a weird crash to fix on the home PC now "Martin (BT)" <martin-spam(a)btinternet.com> wrote in message news:OrudnYuHVroFQsDWnZ2dnUVZ8mGdnZ2d(a)bt.com... > Had a big blowup - reinstalled Windows XP > > This application has failed to start because the application configuration > is incorrect.
