Try this, it should work. Good luck.

What about last know good config? That error code covers a multitude of sins - and if registry files are nuked the one(s) nuked are usually mentioned on the BSOD. A repair reinstall (which I'm not sure if other responder meant), may sort you out, but the repair option he mentioned is actually recovery console. It might be worth booting into recovery console and running chkdsk c: /p. Then try again. If no good, repair reinstall may sort it - or you may find you get BSOD at beginning of second phase of repair. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;229716 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;292175&Product=win2000 On Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 11:18 am, Stanley Rutherford wrote: >I get a message when I tell my computer to start normally after reaching the F8 screens. > When I'm offered to start my system normally, I next get the blue screen with error >- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA with technical error - STOP: 0X00000050 (0X80F50048, >0X00000000, 0X80F50048, 0X00000000).
