[hadmad]

[hadmad]

just to update i have the computer booted up now but only when disconnected form the internet so im going to look at updates and see if any are to do with ie or some thing like that any ideas would be very helpfull

 

[7thsinger]

Forgive me if you've already answered this elsewhere Had, but what OS are you running?

 

[hadmad]

sorry 7th i ment to say its xp sp3

 

[7thsinger]

Strange, as i am running XP sp3 as well (work pc) and did all the updates this morning. I didn't see one in there for IE though?

Let me do some digging and see if i can find anything relevant.

 

[hadmad]

I nicked the majority of this from elsewhere because they had written out something I was thinking mate.
Unless you've changed it, windows will reboot by default if a stop error occurs. To change this right click on my computer>properties>advanced and click the settings button under startup and recovery. Under system failure, remove the checkmark next to the line that says automatically restart. Now, if it's a stop error that's causing it to reboot it'll stop at a blue screen with an error message.

You can also have a look at your event log and see if there's any errors in there that reference this. If it is a stop error that's causing it to reboot, by default windows will write an event to the event log. To view the event log, click start>run and type eventvwr.msc. Double click on an event to see it's contents. When you view an event, in the upper right hand corner of the window you'll see two black arrows. One pointing up and one down. Just beneath them you'll see a button with what looks like two pieces of paper on it. You can click on that button to copy the contents of the event to the clipboard and then paste it here if like man. Like to see what it says.

Can't work out how to put links here now cos we're not supposed to so I'll pm you it mate.

Just run system restore back to a date before update went on
Seen ie8 update cause lots of problems before i refuse to install on my pc

 

[hadmad]

i dont use sys restore have it turn off

 

[Mooley]

Maybe uninstall symantec and install avg or similar and see if problem persists?

 

[hadmad]

it seems to be grand now what i done is uninstalled symantec and all the updates then reinstalled updates first then symantec and it seems to be grand touch wood

Putting links up is fine Mooley. Certain links need to be put up in code (the green cog wheel on your reply screen) for a variety of reasons. :)

Sorry i didn't get back sooner Had. Seems like you managed to get it sorted though. :happy:

 

[hadmad]

thanks 7th

 

[Wooster1]

there was one this morning 7th for ie8 its (kb974455) but i cant see any problem with that it installed on computer no 2 with no problem

We just had a company announcement this morning regarding major problems with the very same update. :)

(They should have looked in here first and saved themselves some trouble.. :p)


You can go into Add/Remove programs on the Control Panel, tick the Show Updates box and when the list populates, uninstall KB974455.
Apparently that fixes it.

cheers wooster but i got it sorted but thanks mate
