windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt

ntoskrnl.exe
pls re-install a copy of the above file.

any help greatly appreciated.

Which operating system is your kids PC using?

If you have an installation CD for your OS then just pop it into the computer, and chose to repair windows files and hopefully that will get you back up and running.
