A friend's dell laptop with xp home wasn't booting up. There was a corrupted
hive file and config file, which were "fixed" using recovery console.

Now xp will boot up, but he first error message is:

"Wireless Configuration: Notification dll has not been registered, program
will not work correctly."

If you click ok, you can enter xp, but any program you try to start returns
error message:

"Problem with Shortcut: This action is only valid for products that are
currently installed."

So, it appears that after fixing Hive and config, the computer doesn't
recognize any of the programs.

Suggestions??
