    Changed OEMCP in registry from 437 to 1252 and my pc refuses to boot.


    My cmd was outputting gibberish in cmd so I searched the internet and someone said to change OEMCP from 437 to 1252 and I did that, after rebooting windows didn't start. Changed registry manually in recovery tools cmd reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage" /v OEMCP /t REG_SZ /d 437 /fBut this didn't help. I have no regedit backup and I also want to avoid resetting pc.

    :)

    Is the sharp AL-1252 printer compatible with windows 10

    I have an old Sharp AL-1252 Laser Printer - is this compatible in any form with Windows 10?

    If not have you a suggestion what driver I can try.

    Thanks

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the description, I understand that you are facing some issues using Windows 10.

    I would like to know some information.


    • What registry fix are you trying to run?

    • What is the exact issue that you are facing?

    • Have you taken a backup of all your data?
    I would suggest you to take a backup of all your data before doing any changes in the registry keys. If you do any incorrect changes to the registry you won’t be able to boot the computer.

    Changing boot hdd

    I downloaded PartitionMagic8.0, but the partition i want to make is not bootable.
    So the system boots from the old, loud hdd, and when i unplug the old, it doesnt boot.
    Any advice or suggestions how to change boot hdd without reinstalling Winxp?
