Oct 7, 2007When I reinstalled XP everything seemed to work well. No error messages, until I was contacted by MS Update that updates were ready for download. There were 77. It seems they download just fine, but during 'initializing installation', the screen abruptly changes to a list of files that failed to install, which is all 77. I then attempted to shut down the computer and reboot. No change. I tried installing one at a time. No difference. I tried installing in numerical order. No change. There is no error message other than 'Some files failed to install'.

Installing Updates On Shutdown: Turn Off Button Had Security Shield?
Dec 17, 2004I have Windows XP w/SP-2 installed on a laptop. Last night, I was notified that there were four critical updates to be installed. I clicked to install them. When I shut the computer down, I noticed that the "Turn off" button had the little security shield icon superimposed and mousing over the button said that it would install updates and shut down my computer. I had never noticed anything like this before, but I assumed it was a new feature that came with a recent Windows update.
Now I'm worried that I was wrong, because after shutting down at 11:30 pm or so last night, the computer seems to be hung. I have a screen with a blue background, the Windows XP logo, and I get a message that alternates between saying "Do not turn off or unplug your computer; it will turn off automatically." and "Installing update 1 of 4." Again, this is behaviour I've never seen before, and has been going on now for over 9 hours. Unfortunately, I did not make note of the critical updates, but I seem to remember that the file sizes were not that large.

Apr 27, 2007xp pro sp2 automatic updates enabled. My computer restarts automatically after shut down. This happens sometimes immediately, sometimes after a delay of up to 10 minutes. I tried using third party shut down programs, but that did not help. However if I let the computer go into hibernate, it shuts down and does not restart. I do not have Roxio installed, and in the settings for startup and recovery the automatic restart is disabled.

Aug 28, 2003This is weird. I have to go through the shutdown procedure twice, i.e., Start/Shut Down/Shut Down and click Ok, then Start/Shut Down/Shut Down and click Ok again. It will then shutdown properly. The same thing happens when I try to "Restart." After doing the first shutdown sequence, everything is normal. I can open programs, surf the web, etc. It's as if I never tried to shut it down at all. Only after the second shutdown procedure will it shutdown fully. One note: When I go through the first shutdown sequence, my taskbar pops up and the desktop is darkened. After clicking Ok, the taskbar autohides and my desktop returns to its normal color.I have only had this problem for the last month or two. Before that, all was fine. It's not critical since I can shut it down. It's just annoying to have to do it twice.I have Windows 2000 Pro, SP4, build 5.00.2195.

Sep 7, 2005My computer is only about 4 months old and I do not have it set to receive automatic updates. It seemed, with my last computer, the updates created more problems than they were worth. Does anyone have an opinion on how important it is to get these updates or am I just as well off not receiving them? The last time I checked to see what updates were available it appeared Microsoft even said that some of them could create problems.

Mar 24, 2005Use Windows Update to find driver updates In Windows Update click Custom Install in the main column, and then click Select optional hardware updates in the left-hand column. Windows Update examines all parts of your system to determine what needs updating and it may recommend more than just driver updates. It's a good idea to visit Windows Update regularly for driver updates and other non-critical updates.

Apr 22, 2007I just want to know how I can wipe everything out on a computer and install XP? I tried with the XP cd and it gave me all these options that I don't understand.So, I finally just put the cd in and installed. Then I had problems connecting with a cable modem (yellow exclamation marks). I don't think I did it right to begin with anyway because it was asking me where on the drive to install. I'd like to just wipe EVERYTHING out and then reinstall.

I've tried taking the CD out but then I get the XP splash screen and a message that I need to complete the install.
View 6 Replies View RelatedNeed To Keep Reinstalling
Aug 5, 2009I built a new PC a few months ago. It is running 32bit XP Pro, I have a RAID 0 which my OS and Programs are on, a RAID 1 that my files/data are kept on, and a backup HD that I just keep whacking backups over to. The problem started a few weeks ago, when Adobe Acrobat started having weird launch problems, to the point where I ended up deleting it, as the only part of Creative Suite CS4 that I don't really use as of now. I can't 100% remember the error, as figured I'd come back to it at a later date.
Next thing to happen, a week or so later, was that iTunes stops working after every turn off / turn on, or restart. i.e. iTunes is set up, all updated and working fine, until I turn my computer off. When I turn it back on again it hunts for some setup file, then says it can't find it, and refuses to open. I have to delete iTunes via Add/Remove, then install it again. At this point, on first opening it, all my music and settings are there fine, but once it's been turned off again same problem. This is a real pain in the *** even more so than usual as I have an iPhone now, so backing up is taking a while each week.Finally (I think), Office is doing a similar thing - it has been installed since first building the PC and working fine, but now each time I open any Office program after a restart it goes through some stage of installation again, and asks me to to activate it over the internet, yet again.
I don't think I've installed any new programs, bar program updates, and it just suddenly happened over a couple of weeks. It was working fine for a few months beforehand.I am relatively PC aware, but a long long way from expert, so have no idea where this problem is coming from - which has made Googling it impossible! It's like it forgets all its setup info at startup or shutdown, and has to start over again. NB, my AVG anti-virus is up to date and running Malware Bytes shows a clean system. Oh, that reminds me, I also had to turn off XP monitoring of my anti-virus, as around the same point as all this started XP started telling me it wasn't turned on or up to date, but it was running perfectly.
Reinstalling Winpro SP2?
Aug 13, 2008Except for functions I hosed by changing settings, my year old Dell PC works and even sends e-mail and surfs. However, I must rebuild. I got the UBCD4WIN set, but have no way to build a CD. I have another computer but it is Win XP Home and doesn't have a CD burner.SO, my intention is to use the Reinstallation disk Dell supplied with my computer, and I'm wondering what to do to prepare for that. Our computers are connected to the internet via satellite. The XP Pro Home computer is primary, connected with a wired router. My machine I'm going to repair is then using a WIRELESS router.My question is whether or not I need to remove the wireless router before using the Reinstallation disk.

The pc is now up and running however obviously the programs that were previously installed are not in the new install of XP.I installed the replacement OS in to a different directly so I would not over right anything. ( I installed on to C:NEWWIN ) My question (s) is the relationship between the PROGRAM files directory the working XP windows directory NEWWIN and original XP windows directory WINDOWS.
In the PROGRAM files directory are the files/folders of the ?missing? applications.
Is there any way I can get these application re-installed /"linked" to the working XP OS ? I have tried to inveisgate these folders however when I attempt to launch a missing appliacation I get various erros which basically mean it is not installed.
