dire need of help quickly

ok windows xp went tits up this evening, it said the c:\windows\system32\config\system file was missing, after trying several things it just wouldnt boot, was on the verge of reformatting when i just put the boot disk in and and found a repair directory with a system file the same size as the one that was supposedly missing, so i copied that file from the repair directory to the directory listed above and lo and behold i got windows to boot again nps a few things needed to be reinstalled and there all up and running now, but theres one thiing that still isnt right, and thats the AGP speed, it stays off, when i put it to 8 speed agp it asks me to restart the pc, and when i do o go back into the smartgart setting and its still off

Im using the omega cats 4.4, and before this system thing went missing they were working perfectly, ive uninstalled the omegas a few times but it still doesnt work, the bios says 8 speed is enabled so i dunno what else to do

You could try re-installing your mobo chipset drivers ?
