Auto Update Windows XP caused Problem

[Guest]

After updating Windows XP Pro on 4/29/06, my computer boots up to run
scandisk utility which I ran. The computer still boots up to run scandisk
and when I select to not run scandisk each time, the computer will boot to
the user sign in and another dialog message box saying "The file or Directory
\Windows\csc\csc0.temp is corrupt and unreadable". I click "enter" twice,
once to log in and second to say ok to the corrput file. Then, I can run
Windows OK.

What can I do to have the computer boot up normally without this problem?

1. XP doesn't use Scandisk. It uses Chkdsk.

2. See this MS Knowledge Base article:

3. Make sure your hard drive is healthy. Download a diagnostic utility
from the hard drive mftr.'s website. Create either a bootable floppy or
cd with the file you downloaded and boot with that media. You may need
to change your computer's boot order in the BIOS. Do a thorough test
with the diagnostic utility. If the drive has any physical errors, boot
into Windows, back up your data, and replace the drive.

Frank,

Try disabling 'Offline Files'. Open My Computer > Tools > Folder Options >
Offline Files tab. Re-enable if you use this feature.

Thanks Drew, it worked. I disabled "Offline Files". When I rebooted, the
computer asked me to run checkdisk again which I did. Checkdisk fixed
numerous ploblems, and when I rebooted again, I booted normally with no
problems.

Thanks again

Thanks Malke, Yes, your are right the computer runs chkdsk. I disabled
"Offline Files" per Drew's reply and that solved the problem.

I use an HP printer Scanner PSC 2155, and I will look for an upated driver
as you suggested.
