2 or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. This issue occurs on a limited number of systems
that use a version of basic input/output system (BIOS) that does not have production

| Hello, I have had this problem for a very long time. Whenever I download
| service pack 2 the computer needs to restart, but when the computer restarts
| it keeps on restarting itself. It will not boot all the way it just restarts.
| We took the computer to Geek Squad ( A big mistake) they were usless and
| after about 2 weeks they told us that they could not fix it. I believe that
| they told the person who picked the computer up, that the only thing they
| could think of was that our computer was running on an illegal copy of xp,
| but its not. We bought the comuter from future shop ( In Canada, which is the
| same thing as best buy here, they actually own it. We now live in the U.S).
| We even have the Windows XP Home edition sticker with the product key on it.
| So I have no idea what to do next or even if there is a solution to this.
