I'm running xp professional.

It seems every time the computer updates itself (standard windows update), after it's done the computer doesn't turn on.

It's happened about 5 times now.
To fix it I've been using the recovery console on the xp disc, and using these commands:
Code:
chkdsk
chkdsk /p
fixboot
fixmbr
exit

And it starts running perfectly again, until next update....

I've no idea what's causing it any any idea would be useful.

About your avatar...
Saw on a show once about those high-speed cameras.
They say it absorbs so much data that recording just for 30 seconds will take hours of playback.

topic: Try to clear out the Windows update record file.

And you do that how..?
Confused

I'm not very experienced.
And nothing bad can come from that?

Start -> Run -> '%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\' (No quotes) -> Open 'Data Store' -> Delete everything in there.

Restart and you'll have a clean update history.

There's also a 'Windows Update.log' I don't know what that does, but it's located at:

(Local Disc):\Windows\Windows Update.log

Sorry to bump an old-ish thread.
But I'm thinking it might have something to do with me patching uxtheme.dll a while back.

Didn't really think about it.
It worked fine until it updated.

Is there a way I can replace it with the one from the xp install disc then update it?

@oib111 FMS is?

You can do that, I think uxtheme patchers (if that's what you used) have an undo function to restore the original.

Oh!!

I used a replacer, just found my backup.
Will try out now.

Cheers.

Edit:
Ok, done it...
Hope this works Neutral
