You might have installed XP from a pirated CD (as most people do). The problem is that updates like SP2 know that your copy is illegal and they prevent the install. Here's what to do.\n\nDownload Windows XP Corporate key changer from:\n\nmicrosoft.crack-cd.com/Microsoft_Windows_XP_Corporate_Key_Changer.html\n\nAfter you extract the files from the .zip archive, run the program XPProCorp-keyChanger.exe. \n\nA command-prompt window will open and it will generate many legal keys. Copy a few (right click on the command prompt window, select MARK, drag the mouse to select a few keys and hit enter) and paste it onto Notepad or something for later use.\n\nAfter you press any key to continue, "Activate Windows" program will open.\n\nSelect "Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows." and click "Next"\n\nOn the next screen, select "Change Product Key".\n\nA screen with 4 boxes to enter the new key will appear.\n\nType in the legal key you have copied earlier from the command-prompt window.\n\n(Or you can use the following one: KC4BB-2JHWW-VKCD6-2MXFV-98VH6)\n\nClick "Update".\n\nIMPORTANT: Close the "Activate Windows" window immediately after this.\n\nNow your key is changed to a legal one, you are free to install Service Pack 2 or any other legal update.\n\n:-)\nxandercage0

Go to Control Panel , then Systems.\n\nWhat operating system do you have?\n\nI heard people with Windows XP SP1 are having problems with Active Sync. You might want to upgrade to SP2.

you have a lot of "stuff" running in the background or something like drivers or programs are conflicting and XP has to deal with them before shutting down. Also if you have restore points activated it could be saving a restore point

Some software providers may still have them for sale.\nBut almosy everyone has been selling XP for years.\nWhat happened to yours?\nWhy can't you upgrade to XP?\nIf yours is damaged, you may be able to get a replacement from MS. If it's lost, make a backup copy next time.

It looks like Microsoft got the best of you.  Time to wipe out your hard drive and redo the entire process.  Oh yeah, make sure you don't update too often otherwise you'll have to it again.

It sounds like you might have some damaged or missing startup files.  You can try a system file check.  If that doesn't work, you can try a repair install. You won't lose any pesonal settings or programs but you'll need your XP install disk.\n\nClick start > run > type in "sfc /scannow" > OK (no quotes and note the space between sfc and /scannow.) If needed, you'll be prompted to insert your install disk to repair or replace system files. The scan could take an hour or more but when it's finished, reboot.\n\nIf this doesn't fix the problem, try a repair install. You'll simply overwrite the entire XP operating system with a fresh copy. You'll have to visit the Windows Update site to reinstall any updates, patches, etc. that came out after your install disk was made (including SP2 if it's not already on the disk.)  This link will give you instructions and actual screen shots of what you'll see during the repair install. The repair takes about an hour and it could take a couple of hours to download/install all the Windows Updates.\n\nhttp://www.windowsxphome.windowsreinstall.com/installxpcdrepair/indexfullpage.htm\n\nAnd if this doesn't fix the problem you'll  probably have to reformat your hard drive and reinstall XP from scratch.  Again, this link will give instructions and screen shots. Reformatting and reinstalling XP takes about  the same amount of time as the repair install, but it could take you all day to reinstall your personal programs and settings. Good idea to have all your program install disks handy and you make notes of your personal settings. Also make sure you back up everything because a reformat wipes your hard drive clean..It'll be a lot easier to reconfigure your computer if you do these things.\n\nhttp://www.windowsxphome.windowsreinstall.com/\n\nplrr

You should have no problems whatever with current files, accounts, etc.  It is always a good idea to back-up your system on external media (data DVD, CD, External HD, etc...)  \n\nWhatever you do...do not turn off power (power-cycle) your computer while updating...even at the end of the instalation process...you must let it shut-down (it will prompt you at the appropriate time to do this or do it itself) and boot up or XP will no longer work.  It trashes the System32/config files.  you have to repair from the intall CD...and you then may loose the "my documents" portion of your system.  \n\nI don't mean to scare you with doom and gloom, but if you have a system that came with Xp on the HD on a "Secret Partition" then you will need find a viable copy of XP or Buy one...because Microsoft will laugh at you if you call them with this particular problem.
