Vista - Anyone up for the challenge?

xpect2lose · 06-29-2008

Just the other day when I loaded the computer, I got this error message:

C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or your network, and then try again.If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.

I have also been having the "Dependency service or group failed to start" problem for many of the programs I try to load. It just occurred the other night.

I did try the cmd sfc/scannow, but it told me that I must be an administrator running a console session and I get the same dependency service message when I try to run something as an administrator.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I feel like part of this problem is stemming from a problem with my Dell not recognizing my charger. It will keep the laptop powered, but it won't charge the laptop. I'm sitting at 0% charge whenever I'm working on my laptop and am on Power Saver power plan which makes things run slowly and less efficiently.

Any solution for that problem would be appreciated as well.

Thank you.

Forgot to mention that the desktop is completely cleared of anything but the recycling bin.

Because Dell like other box builders tinker with how their system is
setup and may do non standard things you usually are better off asking
specific questions relating to their products in the appropriate
forum. Good luck.
