i have had a rather severe problem with my computer for about 3 weeks. if i leave my comp for any more than a few hours (ie:work,sleep) , it will go to "sleep" and it will not restart or reboot. if gives me a msg, if at all, saying that windows can not start becuase of this file
windows/system32/system
i downloaded a shareware pcdoctor program, which told me i was missing the file cmmgr32.exe, which is suppose to be in the winddows/system32 folder. i attempted to repair this through the system recovery console off the xp cd, but failed. i have extensively searched the web to find and dl the file, but failed. so.. i need help with one of 2 options
a)using the recovery console
b)finding an entact version of the cmmgr32 file.

any help would be appreciated

i have reinstalled xp about 5 times in the past 3 weeks. i am just not installing that specific file. it is a connection manager file. there is also a cmmgr32.hl_ file that i have, but just not the .exe file.

If it's required for the OS to work, it will get reinstalled when you reinstall the OS. cmmgr32 is your dialup networking connection manager, and you'll have to get it from someone else using XP if you need it (I could give you the win2k version but it won't work for you).

It should not have any effect on your computer refusing to wakeup from hibernation. Your best bet is to disable monitor and hard drive power down and see what happens.

hmm thnx. i have run a registry optimizer program, and i have 47 keys that are corrupt/missing, so it may not be the cmmgr32 file. i have clean installed my OS several times, and it does not seem to help. i have a cracked vers of xp, so i cant get tech support-_- so far today, i have been able to restart my comp. i think the problem lies when i leave it on, so im not sure what else it could be other than a "sleep" related problem. any h elp is mucho appreciated

Well, a cracked version of XP is pretty problematic in general because you can't get service packs or updates. I would suggest using an older, activation-free version of windows (like 2000).

You may want to consider fdisking and reformatting your drive in case you have some virus activity going on

well, the last time, i use the xp install cd to delete and format both partitions. then install xp on partition 1. first time i did it, i used a 98 fdisk to format.

put the cd in ur cd rom, restart, keep pressing whichever f key brings up the boot list, i think its 10 or 11, choose ur cd rom, choose to format ur drive, when u do delete all partitions, then create new ones. that is a proper clean install

did that. i installed this same xp when i build the comp, and it was fine for a good 8 months, so i tend to think its not the sw on the disk.

I dont think you're missing any files if you did a clean install - I think your computer is going into standby or sleep, and some retarded program is crashing everytime you resume your computer

Go to control panel, open power properties, and choose the "always on" scheme, and also disable hibernation

Also check your bios settings - hit del or f2 or whatever it says when it boots up, and disable any power saving modes or options

You should check out www.windowsupdate.com - but then if you're using the same key that the majority of the cracked installations use, it probably wont let you in... or worse.. so at least get a key generator to install service pack 1 if you haven't already

I'm using cracked version of XP, with a crack for SP1. I've been able to install all patches w/ this crack so far, so no problem.

You don't need to crack it. Theres pre SP2 patch distributors like www.autopatcher.com

I kinda have a similar problem as well if anybody can help me. For the last 4 months, the sleep button when i go to shut down, is that grayed out color and you can't click on it whatsoever. The only options are restart and shut down entirely. Also, normally after 15 mins or so of inactivity it would enter sleep/standby mode but this no longer happens as well. The Gateway guy didn't even know what was going on... does anybody here? BTW I have Windows XP.

Why not just turn off sleep mode then?
