Re: Windows XP Service Pack 2 crashes

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

O ya, I tried that option too but of no avail. In this case, now IE behaviour
has got random crashes. Sometimes, it closes, sometimes it throws error. But
now error in different module: "NTDLL.dll" file.
I also figured out one strange behaviour too that whenever I press the
internet button(quick button on my laptop) when I am inside windows explorer,
the windows explorer changes to internet explorer with folders on left. I
mean the address bar, menu bar etc. changes with folders on the left tree
view. Earlier, pressing the internet quick button was opening up the internet
explorer in a separate process. It seems that somehow the internet explorer
has integrated with windows explorer or the system dlls have been changed.

Do you see any other option of reinstalling SP2 besides formatting my system?
That's the last option I see there but it would be painful to do that as I
have lot of important stuff on my notebook.

Thanks,

Hi All,

In the past, I upgraded my system from XP SP1 to SP2 and all worked
well. After many months, I installed certain software(NetXPert) which
intercepted my browsing experience weirdly due to which I uninstalled
NetXPert. But now my IE6 has been corrupted.

Whenever I try to close
any IE window, I get the windows error message and asks for sending
report to Microsoft. The error happens in oleaut32.dll module. I do
have IE6 with latest service pack for it from Microsoft website.

THAT is the issue that must be fixed first and prevents SP2 from installing;
something is borked in the system. YOu'll have to hvae the machine working
right before SP2 can be installed. Have you tried a Repair Install? Second
R option when booting from CD; NOT the first R option!

To solve this, I tried to reinstall my XP SP2(facing problems in
system operations as well like virtual scrolling disabled, searching
files not opening up).

Now while reinstalling XP SP2, the setup wizard itself crashes while
performing "Finishing/Cleanup" operation. The following is the error
message I get every time I try XP SP2 again and again both in Safe
mode as well as in Normal mode.

"error at the "Finishing Installation/Performing Cleanup" part of the
install: "Service Pack 2 has encountered a problem & needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience." AppName: update.exe; AppVer:
5.5.1005.0; AppStamp: 40f8193a; ModName: ntdll.dll; ModVer:
5.1.2600.2180;

I can't figure out the solution for reinstalling Windows XP Service
Pack 2.

Do any guys know how to safely reinstall XP service pack 2 and get
around with this weird error message?

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Nitin
