I formatted my dell and installed windows XP (came with my system), installed
Norton Systemworks along with spybot and ad-aware. Did some windows update
about 80 or so then the problem began. I went back into window update to
make sure I got all of them and there was one more Windows XP Service Pack 2.
It started installing then all of a sudden I get a popup from Service Pack 2
setup that said Access is denied then I said ok. Another popup box that said
service pack 2 installations did not complete. Select ok to undo the changes
that have been made. Selected ok and it did its thing. Then another popup
box saying service pack 2 installations did not complete. Windows XP has
been partially updated and may not work properly. And it was right. I
rebooted then got a blue screen that said STOP 00000 (not sure how many
zeros) the session manager initialization system process terminated
unexpectedly with a status of 000 (don’t know how many zeros). The system has
been shutdown. The computer now keeps rolling from the blue screen to the
windows logo, the dell screen, blue screen etc. The desktop never loads.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Try to deinstall apps which you installed - first install device drivers if
any needed you can check it Control Panel -> Performance and Maintance ->
System -> Hardware -> Device manager (check if any important device hasn't
detected or has installed incorrectly). If you have an firewall app install
it and next connect to the internet and Windows Update and download updates
for your system. If everything will installed correctly install 3rd party
apps.

Hi,

and in Safe Mode ? Beside you said that you've installed Windows - so I
suppose that it's clear ... almost ;-) if in Safe Mode environment won't
load too, as a last resort you can install it again. You'll waste about
30-40 minutes but will sure that 3rd party apps don't block an operations
during OS updating.

I am not sure if I can get into safe mode but I will try (F8 I think) I have
wasted plenty of time given I have to formatt/partition and reinstall windows
twice because of windows not loading correctly. Since this happened during
the install of Service Pack 2 I would imagine that it would be in Add remove
programs. Can't I delete it there?

For device drive I did not installed any because in device manager it did
not show yellow question marks after I loaded Windows XP. The only thing I
have installed in Windows, ad-aware, spybot, and Norton Systemworks. I have
no firewall other than the one windows has which it is not turned on. So I
am not sure what you want me to uninstall.

What problem(s) were you trying to resolve by formatting and reinstalling
Windows?

Did you enable the Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall before going
online for the first time after formatting/reinstalling?

Did you uninstall the preinstalled-at-the-factory anti-virus/internet
security application before installing NSW?

Before You Connect a New Computer to the Internet
http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/before_you_plug_in.html

Were NAV, Spybot Tea Timer & SDHelper and/or Ad-Watch (if you're running
Ad-aware Pro) running/enabled when you attempted to install SP2?

PS: You didn't need to install those 80+ updates before installing SP2.

Hi,

Ad-aware, spybot, and Norton Systemworks - all of them have real-time
monitors prevents some operations. I don't tell that Systemworks is bad app
but very often it can do more damages then repairs. Besides on this stage
it's more important to protect system by installing essential updates
otherwise is very probable that in short time you will figth with Windows
again - evil dont sleep ;-)
And SP2 it's definitely essential update - it's not only new firewall and
some gadgets but many many patches to system.

Service Pack 2 can be in Add/Remove Programs but not necessarily - it
depends if you chose deinstallation option when you installed :) Generally
you said that installation did not complete - so it shouldn't be there.

And another thing - if with your computer there was an additional CD to your
motherboard you should install that drivers in spite of Windows has already
installed some.

You said that you got blue screen with an STOP error - if you pass it with
all details perhaps it will be easier to determine what exactly causes it.

Only Ad-aware Pro's Ad-Watch provides real time protection.

Spybot's Tea Timer provides real time protection, but it's not enabled by
default IIRC.

What problem(s) were you trying to resolve by formatting and reinstalling
Windows?
This is my mothers computer who is 70 years old and I sat down at her
computer and she had so many popup boxes I could not get anywhere. Also not
to mention she had not had a virus program since 2003.

Did you enable the Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall before going
online for the first time after formatting/reinstalling? She did not have a
firewall other than windows firewall. I cannot say for sure if it was on or
not; however if I am not mistaken I have to manually turn on the firewall
after installing windows and I did not do this.

Did you uninstall the preinstalled-at-the-factory anti-virus/internet
security application before installing NSW? Dell came with a CD called
Reinstallation CD Microsoft Windows XP home; which is only windows and a CD
called Backup: Dell-Installed Programs; which is the programs that the
computer came with. I never got to installing that.

Were NAV, Spybot Tea Timer & SDHelper and/or Ad-Watch (if you're running
Ad-aware Pro) running/enabled when you attempted to install SP2? I did not
install the pro version of Ad-aware only the free one. Yes they were all
running when I was I attempted the SP2.

I guess I don't know how to do that. I just got the updates when they came.
Don't I need SP2 on the computer? Since the computer will not load to the
desktop should I try and remove SP2 in safe mode if I can get into safe mode
or I found this link
http://support.microsoft.com/default...t=windowsxpsp2

Thanks
I am a little lost with all these posts. I am not as knowledgeable as you
guys are with computers. Can you please tell me what exactly I need to do?
Should I use the link you sent me on SP2 not completed successfully?

Thank you

On the blue screen it said

blue screen that said STOP 00000 (not sure how many zeros but it was one x
and the rest zeros. Is it important to know how many zeros?) the session
manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status
of 000 (don't know how many zeros). The system has been shutdown.

Only Ad-aware Pro's Ad-Watch provides real time protection.

Spybot's Tea Timer provides real time protection, but it's not enabled by
default IIRC.

What problem(s) were you trying to resolve by formatting and reinstalling
Windows?
This is my mothers computer who is 70 years old and I sat down at her
computer and she had so many popup boxes I could not get anywhere. Also not
to mention she had not had a virus program since 2003.

Did you enable the Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall before going
online for the first time after formatting/reinstalling? She did not have a
firewall other than windows firewall. I cannot say for sure if it was on or
not; however if I am not mistaken I have to manually turn on the firewall
after installing windows and I did not do this.

Did you uninstall the preinstalled-at-the-factory anti-virus/internet
security application before installing NSW? Dell came with a CD called
Reinstallation CD Microsoft Windows XP home; which is only windows and a CD
called Backup: Dell-Installed Programs; which is the programs that the
computer came with. I never got to installing that.

Were NAV, Spybot Tea Timer & SDHelper and/or Ad-Watch (if you're running
Ad-aware Pro) running/enabled when you attempted to install SP2? I did not
install the pro version of Ad-aware only the free one. Yes they were all
running when I was I attempted the SP2.
