If you have the original Windows XP CD available, then boot from it and on the first screen select Install Windows (don't use repair console). Then a bit further on you will be given the opportunity to do a "Repair" of the existing Windows installation. Be careful that the wording is showing that it has discovered the existing install and offer to repair. If you choose this option then it will reinstall all system files fresh from the CD, but not touch any other files or settings so you will keep all of the installed other programs etc. If you had installed from a CD without SP2 then the end result is that you have to reapply SP2 after the reinstall is finished. I have done this cycle several times over the last week or so now... :-( All of my installed programs were kept untouched. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of S Wagle Sent: den 10 maj 2005 16:14 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Re: CVSNT install failed and now Windows XP machineiscrashing Yes, that's a possibility that Windows update caused the problem. I was trying to think through the sequence of events. The machine had been stable for quite some time and I had shut it down a couple of days ago. When it was shutting down, it installed a couple of Windows updates. Then I restarted the machine and worked on it for an hour or so and it seemed fine. Then I installed CVSNT on it, which gave the install error message, and then it asked me to restart the machine. When I restarted, Windows started to crash almost immediately or within 5 minutes or so of startup. In one of those 5 minutes where the machine did not crash, I was able to uninstall CVSNT, but that has not fixed the problem. The machine continues to crash. -- Is there a way for me to determine conclusively if it was the Windows update or CVSNT install that caused the crash? -- Now that it is crashing, is there anything I can do to fix the problem, short of reinstalling Windows again?
