Still having problems, tells me to download windows service pack 3 but when I go to the site it just gives me the message about setting up windows automatic update.

I tried running that, but then it tells me there was a problem and tells me to undo all the changes (which the program proceeds to do).

It tells me Windows XP partially updated and may not work properly.

No, just said it had failed to update.

Are you still getting the same error on windows updates

Download  Windows Repair (all in one)  from this site

Install the programme then run



Go to step 3 and allow it to run SFC



On the start repairs tab click start


Select the following  items and tick restart system when finished

It runs the scan then tells me...

Windows File Protection

Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL cache.

Insert your Windows XP Professional CD2 now.


But its a long time since I bought the computer and I don't have this disk anymore.

When I try to run the repair the computer just reboots without letting me select what I want it to repair, then tells me Windows has recovered from a serious error.

That seemed to work fine. Should I run the original tweaking repair program now?
