AOL restart my computer when I log off the coast. It started to happen after I downloaded 16 updates from Microsoft about 3 days ago.

When I connect to AOL my Windows XP automatically restarts. The strange thing is that this isn't it every time, but most of the time.

Hi bill1106,

1. not the problem only occurs when signing off the coast of AOL?

2. you receive an error message?

3. when all the updates is correctly installed on the computer?

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

If the previous step fails, then view the event logs to see the cause of the issue and after return with details.

  • Windows Vista - stuck on logging off the screen

    I have this same problem with Vista Home Premium that others have had.  When I tried to shut down the computer laptop last night, he is stuck at logging off-page - with the active circle always renewable.  After 20 minutes or so I was tired so close by using the power button.  This morning when I turned on the laptop, he went to the same page of disconnection. 3 hours later, it's still there!  My technical knowledge is, to say the least, "limited."  I tried to open safe restart mode and pressing F8, as suggested on other threads, but which didn't work - I can not go beyond the logging off the screen. How can I solve this?

    I had the same problem... This method works.

    Turn on the computer and when the screen shows recovery Windows press the space key.

    You will be presented with 2 options - either to continue with system resume or to remove the Hibernation file and start with primer system - choose the second option - you're fixed!

  • Start-up problems: I have a black screen when I log in the menu

    When I start my computer, I get a black screen when I log in the menu. I can still access the computer on safe mode, but I can't find a solution. Antivirus Avira found no detection, so I don't think that's associated virus.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Hi DianeCosic,

    What operating system or version of Windows do you use?

    We would need to know that in order to help you better.  If you still see the desktop and My Documents on your Start menu, you should be able to recreate the shortcuts by right-clicking on them from there.

    In addition, if something has changed on your computer, you can do a system restore to a previous point before the show began.

    Please, let us know if we can help you.

    Thank you!
