Windows keeps asking to reboot

Whenever I have shutdown and restart Windows, I get a request (or not) to restart Windows. If I click on YES, the system restarts and I get the same question. I'm in _ restart. How can I get rid of this. and, perhaps more importantly, why is that happening?

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.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

See you soon.

  • File protection Windows keeps asking me to reload SP3 disk and something on the DLL Cache...

    I downloaded the Windows XP Service Pack 3, just today, thinking that it would help the difficulty of "windows file protection" window continues to display up to

    whenever I connect and the office, icons, etc... then, after about a minute or two, it asks me to "recharge the cd" and something to

    do with the DLL Cache... I do not have the disk, and the download does not solve the problem... I think about a month or two ago I accidentally

    deleted some windows files that are needed to solve this problem... I'm not a computer genius, but I was not able to understand

    How to solve this problem... I did a system restore when the question first happened w / in a week or two, and that has not helped... what should I do to fix the windows

    missing files...

    God help us all...

    If you installed SP3 (it's a good thing) and do not a CD bootable XP installation genuine with XP on it, running sfc/scannow will not help you and he will complain - a lot.   Sometimes, when he starts to complain, it is difficult to stop.  This does not mean that anything is wrong with your system if necessarily.

    It is unlikely for the typical poster in the MS Answers forums with the system store bought to have a XP installation CD everything--much less one with SP3 already on it.  Why MSE suggest things?

    Still no takers?  ---->>

    If you have an XP installation CD bootable real of a plu SP, you can make a new XP installation CD with SP3 on it by a process called "slipstreaming" (sorry - there is no KB article for the Ministry of Education to post on how to do it).

    To your question:

    When you see a message like this:

    Windows file protection
    Files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.  To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.

    I hope that you are curious to know what is the file and when you know that, you can decide what to do about it.

    You must click Cancel, and then click Yes to keep the file, then you will have an event to watch which will tell you what the problem is the file.

    Search where you sign in to see what is the name of file system Viewer, then decide what to do.

    When in the Viewer system event log, click the "Source" column header to sort the events in alphabetical order by the name of the Source.  The events of "Windows File Protection" must be near the bottom of the list (because they begin with 'W').

    The event will look something like in this example:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64005
    Date: 10/01/2011
    Time: 14:41:56
    Description:
    The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

    When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There may have other copies of the files on your system or you can get the files from another source - anyone can download the file (s) you need for their SkyDrive and you can download and replace the files one at a time.  First you must understand what the file is that XP thinks he needs.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

    When in the Viewer system event log, click the "Source" column header to sort the events in alphabetical order by the name of the Source.  The events of "Windows File Protection" must be near the bottom of the list (because they begin with 'W').

    If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

    When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

    It could also be that your antivirus/antimalware program is off data and has quarantined (actually deleted) files.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  • Windows keeps asking me password

    I have windows vista. 6 months ago there was a power surge. Computer would not be loaded correctly. 6 months later, it works. My problem is, when I get startup errors, I forgot what I clicked on but it asks me a password and I don't have the password of the user account. So, how can I know what the screen start wonder.  This isn't for the password of accounts, is when you have to fix the computer during the boot and there administration above then you must type a password down.

    system recovery option
    to access the log recovery as a local user option
    to access the as command prompt, log in as administrator... then is request password. I don't have? How can I find one?

    Perhaps the BIOS password? Some motherboards allow you to define "passwords for the supervisor" for those wishing to change the BIOS settings.

    BTW, you should have a password as a system administrator. An intruder in the House can come and change everything they want on your PC in the case, INCLUDING theft of private data.

  • Windows keeps asking me to reactivate what I did several times this week, how can I stop this from happening

    Apart from contacting the technical support team, is there something I can do to stop this problem of reactivation to reappear every week or two, it starts getting a little tired, I re-enabled now my copy of windows xp on three different occasions in recent weeks, I think that it all started going wrong when I changed the dvd player , for writing/dvd player and it just read, so I changed to the original and responsive drive my copy of XP, everything went well for about a week, then the activation window started.

    I can't really develop more on what is there without it run the risk of confusing you.

    Where exactly are you having problems?

    When you click the copy button that the report is copied to your Clipboard (hidden) - folder you won't see anything happen except maybe the copy button flashes once.

    Then return to your answer here and in the answer box, made a right click, it should bring a list of options - click on paste.

    That's all there is to it.

    The bit of "in your own thread" is to try to ensure that only the original poster responds with a report in this thread (question)

    Information provided to the sticker, this is exactly what we needed - all we need now is a copy of the report, preferably run when the non-genuine notification shows, as otherwise, it is unlikely to show us something useful.

  • Problems of updates Windows XP - how to fix the incorrect Windows XP updates KB2633952 keep asking to install?

    Problems of updates Windows XP - how to fix the incorrect Windows XP updates KB2633952 keep asking to install? True, it is that it is already installed on your computer. If hide us, an another previous KB2570791 arises in our updates of Windows and asked to install anything, that it was installed... of the questions repeated and very annoying.  Help, please!

    (Microsoft Answers just sent us message have deleted our previous thread, ask for help!) We are simply not that these problems are problems with Windows XP updates related to DST or not?)

    Nadia. PA supporter said that your computer is hacked. He may be right. I can't weigh because I don't know what led him to this conclusion. If your computer is hijacked, then you should address that more that you need to fix this minor update. However, under the resolution of your problem to update, you can try this:

    Assume Windows XP

    Check the C:\Windows\System32\ directory for the presence of the file tzchange.exe

    If the file is not present or if the version of the file is not 5.1.2600.6171 or newer...

    Download the update appropriate 2633952 for your platform here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2633952

    Run with - extract switch (e.g., Start > run > "[path to the downloaded file] \WindowsXP-KB2633952-x86-ENU.exe"-x)

    Of course, replace [path to the downloaded file] with the path to the downloaded file.

    Citations may or may not be required depending on the path. Place the x - out the citations if you use them.

    Choose a location for the extracted files (a new folder is recommended)

    Locate the extracted files. File tzchange.exe you want and copy it into C:\windows\System32

    That rerun Windows Update detection to see if the problem is resolved.

  • I try to activate the Fax Service. He keeps asking me: a CD with 'Windows Professional Service Pack 3 '.

    I try to activate the Fax Service. He keeps asking me: a CD with 'Windows Professional Service Pack 3 '. Of course, I don't have such a CD. When I try Microsoft doewnloading they tell me this service pack is 64-bit, but my computer is running 32-bit. Anyone has an idea how to get around this and activate my fax service?

    Thank you
    original title: activate the Fax Service.

    XP is expensive now, or maybe you can get a legal CD of a person. You won't have to reinstall you can move the license to your computer, and then install the fax from the CD. You will have also the CD incase never reinstall you or need something else of it.

    Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah

    McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.

    Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers.  Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.
