Says both of these files are not valid windows image.

C:\windows\system32\umpnpmgr.dll
C:\windows\system32\ntdsapi.dll

I get the first error and click ok, then I get the second error and hit
ok. This happens right before the black background with the Windows pro
and the blue dots scrolling accross. It doesnt boot up after I cick the
ok. Just sits there with a black screen.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced!

You could try running System File Checker by going to Run and typing sfc
/scannow.

or,

Download umpnpmgr.dll from here
http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files.php/dllfiles/U/umpnpmgr.dll/download.html
(look above flashing graphic banner) and ntdsapi.dll from here
http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files.php/dllfiles/N/ntdsapi.dll/download.html

Perhaps someone here could advise you the best way to copy them to the
system32 folder

Try this: put your XP CD on the drive. Type everything without the quotes. I'll suppose your CD drive is D: if not, change the letter:
Start>Run and type in "cmd" <hit Enter>
In the new screen type and hit enter at the end of each line:
"cd i386"
"expand umpnpmgr.dl_ c:\windows\system32\umpnpmgr.dll"
"expand ntdsapi.dl_ c:\windows\system32\ntdsapi.dll"

I appreciate the help Karl, but I cant get to windows. It sticks on
the black screen. I have a feeling I am going to have to do this the
second way you mentioned, but I have no idea how to do that...

Jose, thanks for the help, but again, I cannot get into windows to do
this. I need a fix to do from DOS.

I can easily reformat, but I will lose a lot of stuff. If I just do a
new install of windows without deleting the previous version, wont I
have to reinstall everything?
