Guest CompuChik Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 When I turn off my computer a error box pop up saying "can't read (write? I forgot) 0x020e029a. After a few seconds my computer is off without any more hiccups. It happens almost everytime recently when I shut down. And my computer would turn on as usual without any problem apparantly (only that it takes a long while, several minutes in running 100% CPU for svchost.exe before I can use the CPU power for application). What does that mean? Is my computer infected? Help......

Is my computer infected? Possibly - but let's check a few things first. - Let's fix up your Windows Updates... Get Dial-a-Fix: http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix Use its options to fix: - Windows Installer - Windows Update - all the Registration Center options. Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2" Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution". Then click "GO" Reboot... Download/Install Windows Update v3. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237 (You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.) Download/Install the 927891 patch. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A Reboot. As for the error - look for it in your Event Log (Start button --> Run --> eventvwr --> OK) and let us know what it actually says. ;-) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
