Windows Protection Error
I'm hoping someone can help me. I just recently had my
computer fixed, about two weeks ago, new harddrive and all. Yesterday morning when I got up I began having problems. Every time I opened internet explorer it would let me use it for a few minutes and then I would get an error message (received various error messages) and would eventually have to restart my computer. The last thing that I downloaded was some update for Windows, but I'm not really sure what it was. I tried to restore my computer to another date but that didn't work, it only caused problems with my Norton Anti-virus. Then I uninstalled Norton and a spyware program that I had. Before this I ran a virus scan and didn't find anything. I also have another virus scanner on my computer, ran a scan with that one as well and found nothing. Now my computer either freezes in the middle of doing something, the screen goes blank, or I get a blue screen with the message "Windows Protection Error. You must restart your computer. System halted" and then I have to restart. I am not sure what is causing this or what to do to fix this. Does anyone have any ideas? Would it help to just reinstall ME and if so how would I do that? Thanks for any help you can give me. |

You have probably installed an update, KB891711, that many are having
problems with. Do a Ctrl-Alt-Del and see if you have KB891711.exe running, if so, it is most likely the culprit. You should be able to see the startup entry in MSCONFIG, as well. Do an 'End Task' on the running process, uncheck it in MSCONFIG/Startup and you should be able to remove it through Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. And, yes, if you do a System Restore, you will have to uninstall and reinstall Norton AV.....it's just the nature of the beast and the way it stores info in the registry.

Should have mentioned that you can simply prevent the KB891711.exe from
running by unchecking it in MSCONFIG/Startup........the uninstall is optional, of course. The choice is, of course, yours. Heirloom, old and the BBQ ain't settin' well "heirloom" wrote in message ...
