help with c0000135 winsrv error

I have read many many help tps on this error. He is my dilema that i have not seen addressed yet though. In order to fix this I keep seeing to go into this or go into that, however, I cant get into windows to get to those files and I am learning that I cant boot into dos mode in xp. Every time windows boots, it goes straight to the blue screen then locks. I have to hard boot again then same procedure. How can I change this. Please help.
thanks.

p.s. I have tried all options in the boot menu..same happens in safe mode and all other choices. Also, this is on a laptop, so no floppy drive. I do have a thumpdrive if I can make it boot from that some how if that is helpful.

 

The guy does not know if he has any restore points, however, even if he does, how can i access that if i can not get into windows?
thanks.

 

also cannot get into the safe mode or any of the other options.

 

thanks again,
i have already read about that tv media thing, and downloaded the removal tool for it, problem lies with the fac that i cant get into windows to run the program. I do not have access to the boot disks. It is a compaq laptop. do you think any xp disk may work?

 

ok, i got a copy of xp home. how would go about using the recovery WITHOUT having to reload the whole system. I am trying not to lose any info or data for this guy.
thanks again

 

thanks for the finger crossing, BUT (there is always a but), i do not know how to use the module. it goes to a c prompt, but does not let me do anything. typing "help" gives me a list, but i dont want to screw anything up, so any guesses on what command to use?
thanks again

 

im already in the recovery module. it gives me a option of commands, but i dont know which ones. they are as follows. attrib - batch - bootcfg - cd - chdir - chkdsk - cls - copy - del - delete - dir - disable - diskpart - enable - exit - expand - fixboot - fixmbr - format - help - listsvc - logon - map - md - mkdir - more - net - rd - ren - rename - rmdir - systemroot - type

that is all the options.

 

sorry, this is the repair module. it was a type "O" on my part. those are the options in the repair module.

 

you have been very patient and helpful thus far. I am entering the repair screen. I am at about 20%...will let you know when it is in. thanks again...be back whenn it is to that part.

 

ok, i tried to go into repair module, but it seems to me like it is doing a full install....is this correct ? should it be doing this? please help ...i cant lose the info on here unless it is a last resort.

 

hey, was just reading this thread out of curiosity.
i to am having similar problems with a compaq, and it to is my mates, however his is a pc not a laptop.
anyway, i dont how well this will work,, but i have done this before on my fujitsu siemens, and it was always ok.
if you can get you hands on an enclosure (that is what i call it) its like an exernal hard drive that is portable, basicly like a really big memory key, anyhow, you can take this apart and remove the harddrive, and take the harddrive out of the compaq and connect it the enclosure, then using USB r Firewire you can hook it to your comp and take what you want off of it.

if anybody out there wants to tell me that i am an idiot, do, but tell me where i am making the mistake cus i am only new at this stuff.
anyway, ley me know
coboy

2. Press any key to begin the XP Boot sequence
3.Press enter when given the option (R-repair, Enter-install XP, F3- To quit)
4. Now press F8
5. Now press R- For Repair
6. Hit enter and Xp will install all over but will only repair your windows folder without damaging any programs and data.

Or
