Blue screen on entry, invitation to update on exit

[Stephen Ibbs]

I have two problems with Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and I would be grateful if somebody could help me.

Every time I turn on the computer I get a blue screen with a warning advising me that it is checking the file system. One the disks needs to be checked for consistency. It then counts down and if I don't press the spacebar the check then takes place. Whether I let it continue or not, it doesn't matter and eventually Windows loads up and everything is fine.

At the same time that this happened I noticed that every time I choose to turn off the computer the 'Turn off' option has been modified to show that important updates will be installed. Again I have chosen this option every time for several weeks now, and nothing changes.

Can somebody explain what is causing these to happen, and what I can do to put them right.

many thanks

Sincerely

Stephen
