Guest Ted Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I have 2 problems that need to be arrdessed. Problem #1 My computer is set to download & install Windows XP updates,When it download (KB873374) Microsoft GDI +detection tool & I reboot I cannot get the computer to restart.It goes into the start mode ( & screen) then it continually reboots this can continue for as long as the machine is powered on.I cannot even start it in safe mode. When I do a complete reinstallation & install the updates MINUS this file all is OK.? Problem #2 When I reinstall my printer (HP) the log on screen becomes active.This has never happened before;When I go to disable it I also cannot restart the computer I would appreciate help on these 2 matters as I am really at the end of my tether to have these rectified Thanks Ted
