Apparently, your PC has suffered a major security breech and is now
infected with Malware ("The Sasser Worm") because:

1. The latest Windows XP Critical Updates have apparently not been installed......
2. The PC's firewall apparently has not been properly enabled.....
3. Out-of-date or no antivirus program has been installed......

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.

Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Follow these directions to remove The Sasser Worm from your computer:

Mark,

I don't wish to disagree with Carey Frisch, especially since she appears to
be someting with Microsoft, but I don't think your error is necessarily
caused by the Sasser Worm. The reason I say that is because I have the same
problem through a different route. In my case Windows wouldn't load, saying a
system file was missing. I used the Windows Repair and Recovery console,
found what I thought was a backup of the missing file, copied it into the
right place and restarted. I then got the same error as you, and now I can't
get into Repair and Recovery because it says I need an administrator
password. My conclusion - I'm going to have to re-install Windows.

Good luck with your problem.

Dave

Hi,

It may be a registry problem, as you did a clean installation. This article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316134 indicates that this can occur if
the system is rebooted before activation completes. If your original
settings do not include a Service Pack, you should install one of them
immediately after using the restoration disks.

Mark,

I suspect if you try to use the restore cd to go into the repair and
recovery console it will ask you for an administrators password, which you
probably don't know. There is a way of setting this to blank, which I am
probably going to try tonight or tomorrow. Let me know whether I'm right
about the adninistrator password thing, as it will help me diagnose my
problem.

Cheers

Dave
