re: shut down with error message Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 2:13 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (2229 messages posted) That generally means that an important system file has become corrupted for some reason and the standard fix is to run a "repair" installation from the Windows XP installation CD, but that will be no good if the disk itself is dying. Does this happen when you try to logon, or can you get some sort of sense out of the machine? Will it boot into Safe Mode? If so, there may be one or two things to try first to see if it can be recovered. Cheers. Spexx.
